Hi Dave,
Well its good to hear you arent aiming for global monopoly! :)

However I must ask you, if as you say various members of "an industry
that seems to have lost its way" mimic your new and bold concepts,
then isn't that a good thing if what you are really concerned
about is the possibility of them "slowly dying through lack of innovation"?

Just something to think about.
