Well written reply, but I expect the man is just a small minded economics
professor who's whole lifes work depends to analyzing large corporations and
the "magic" they create. How disappointing for him to find out that
volunteers could do better!!! Alas - his life was wasted if that is the
case... No - his truth must be defended!!! Small minds go into economics...
That's why they always pick mathematicians to represent them at the Nobel
prize awards...:)
Cheers,
Mark
