I agree with you John absolutely. That's why I said in the beginning
that I was shocked that anyone would actually think IBM wouldn't keep
secrets. They would, and should. Just because its IBM does not mean
the secrets should all come out. Maybe the idea from the consent
decree still live, that IBM needs to keep disclosing.

Doug,
I am perfectly satisfied. It is just that all of the conspiracy theories
raised against IBM have been getting on my nerves.
I know that there are a lot of people who disagree with IBM in its ongoing
dispute with PSI, but I feel that IBM is on solid ground. PSI didn't spend
tens of billions of dollars on R&D. IBM did. IBM should not have to give
the fruits of those efforts to a latecomer looking to make a quick buck.
Just my two cents.
