Hi Arlo 

Just wanted to make a quick comment on the passage below.
Incentive to produce comes in all shapes and forms. There are hundreds of thousands of 
people all over the globe producing a wide range of high quality products for nothing, purely 
because they enjoy doing so. Think 'Free and Open Source Software'. If it wasn't for the efforts 
of these folks we wouldn't be talking today.

Food for thought - not thought for food!
