Once again, you are wrong to quote Adam Smith. Have you personally read the
Wealth of Nations? I have (the original 18th century edition in Old English
some more!) I can tell you it's a great work, but flawed for modern times.
Adam Smith is like a beacon of light, but one would still buy a map to
navigate in the dark. No one follows Smith's economic ideals nowadays (esp
the Singapore govt), except Alan Greenspan, and he is also using a variant
of Smith's ideals called New Capitalism.

I agree with Rhan on this.

Groupware means a group, a group needs a leader. The fundamentals in group
dynamics is that a leaderless group is a motley collection of unassociated
individuals. And that, according to definition, is not a Group.
