Hmmm...a note about sharing trade secrets...its a noble idea and all, but its not un-noble to not do so...look at Colnel(sp?) Sanders(kfc) several restraunts do it, probablly because being a chef is alot like being an artist...if you tell everyone exactlly what your secret ingredient is, it kinda looses its novelty...Look at that masked magician guy?...he kinda ruined all the old illusions for the old school magicians...because he shared "trade secrets"...if doing that were such a noble thing, then why does he still wear a mask?...I mean realistically what is the point of copywriting work, ideas or inventions if everything should be common knowledge?...What is the point of bothering to learn things on your own and push the limits of what ever you're working with if everyone should be given everything at birth?...I'm not saying sharing is wrong, I share plenty, but I am saying telling me I'm bad for not sharing something is kinda ludicrious...
