Evan,

Your points are well taken.  You seem to be looking at the whole debate 
while I addressed a couple points close to home.  I go out of my way to 
encourage ILE based innovation vs. whatever.  And when it comes down to 
large-company vs. small company, I go out of my way to encourage 
individual & small-company innovation, to try to level the playing 
field.

Nathan.
