I said nothing about profit. That appears to be your particular fixation. The best and most cost effective use of scarce resources is the ultimate definition of efficiency. Where there is no scarcity there is no point in efficiency. Efficiency is the basis for specialization, allowing one farmer to support 5, then 50, then 500, then 5000. That is the pinnacle of human achievement, without which we would be too busy hunting and gathering to afford math majors. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
