Jeff,

There's an inclination to bash the big guys that cause us little guys pain (I've done it, too; just not today, so far.). You have $$$ to throw at a market and the ability to shake up our carefully crafted status quo, and we (I) object. I want a 9-5 job with lots of income in it for me, and that just does not leave room in my life for pesky competitors. :-)

You are right, I need to take care of my customers. And, we will compete in the open market and see who previals and how often.

I remember watching a documentary on the Ia Drang Valley battle (the We Were Soldiers story) and an interview with a guy that fought there. He talked about knowing that they were going in to an area with a large but unknown number of opponents, and that they did so willingly, with the closing line "Let's tangle....".

:-)
