Too bad he didn't have access to the Clipper database. That would have helped us find its free market price.
...and who's to say he didn't? Anyone who bought it--the Russians, for example--would hardly have been likely to publicize their purchase.
(Maybe if _we_ purchased it, we'd publicize the purchase, but nearly anyone else would not.)
Or maybe he could just _claim_ to have sold the database. That'd work just as well, I think. Think how much trouble the gov't would have to go to do disprove him! Jim Bell jimbell@pacifier.com
