>> Sorry

Ha ha!  Writing does work that way. Just because someone writes something doesn't place someone else under an obligation to read it!

The value to me is in the thinking and I do that best if I write it down. What anyone else does with it after that is not my affair :-)

As for capitalism, it is a simple money system to me. It's the basis of all our trades, and so can be abused in many ways.


Sorry I took so long to get back to you. :) Especially after such a wonderfully in-depth answer. :)

It must not be all that effective, otherwise I'd have stopped ageing in 1980 when I started a multi-year intensive programming project.
