    Our company is currently in the process of a "merger" (yeah right - they're 20 times our size). There's only a few (3) of us who know that years ago we obtained a class B IP (no, I'm not going to say which one). If things go badly, we figure, we should be able to transfer that without anyone knowing. Shit, the company is so clueless, they don't even know they own it.

    What's that worth?

    Save the talk of disenfrachisement. You may have lost a paycheck or two. OTOH, six or seven thousand people are dead. My aunt's brother, my friend's brother are among them. I'm looking for a job at the moment, as are many of you.

    In all of these situations, people need the help of strangers in order to make it. Fair dealing is the foundation of all organized society. Now more than ever, we need to treat others the way we would like to be treated.
