Mark, don't worry, the real programmers among us aren't afraid to compete (actually, right now, there's plenty of work for everyone who is competent so there's little need for real competetition). Fortunately, these losers are unlikely to be successful in their organizational and lobbying efforts.

Thanks. I hope so... Free access to the US market has already enabled me to switch from $100 / month to $500 / month while in Romania, and to $3,500 / month here in Atlanta. [Yeah, I'm still far from Bill Gates, but it's still 35 times more than I made two years ago <g>] Mark
