I'm going to suggest that this is off-topic for zope-dev, as this is a list fostering cooperation among developers who do not mind sharing their 'beans' and who do not hold the delusions of conspiracy theory. If you are not willing to play by the ad-hoc cooperative social contract of this development community, please go away. This is my last post on this matter, and I suggest others follow suit.
Anyway, you do know all kinds of embarrassing health problems can happen from hoarding beans, don't you?

This is what makes the free market work and I would do the same thing if I was in their shoes. However, I am not in their shoes, and therefore don't want to brand their company and don't want to add my beans to their pile of beans. Thats all I was saying.
