Since we have no idea what thread you are talking about, it's kind of hard to guess <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

I assume that why06 is askiing why there are so few posts on Space Business & Technology. I've posted most of my good ideas several times before, so I'm waiting until someone else types something simular before giving you all a repeat. Also, I am spead thinly over much of www.space.com as are many of the other regular posters. Neil

<font color="yellow">Space Business and Technology has never been one of the more active forums, as I recall....and I'm an old-timer! </font><br /><br />Based on what I see, there just have not been many "good" posts on this forum. We need more posters who <i>understand BOTH technology AND business</i>, and perhaps discuss or share the experience of how to take concepts to the market place.<br /><br />Instead, we have some crackpot "start-up" companies that represents a little more than a multi-level marketing scams whose sole purpose are to "harvest" intellectual properties for free, which further discourage any credible contributions. <br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
