Hi Martin,

I do understand what you're saying and I do agree that certain 
proprietry info needs to be confidential to promote not only R&D but 
competition. It was said more in a blackish jest than anything.

I was using it as a lever to support my argument against an artists 
dependency on manufacturers whims. It's not unknown for a 
manufacturer to just stop producing a paper altogether leaving people 
high and dry.

Developing (no pun intended) ones own paper and processes goes some 
way to removing this dependancy.

I hope this explains my statement and apologise for any offence...
