    It also takes something that does fulfill those needs.
    Beyond that, it takes awareness that the alternative exists - there may be a site as useful as google, but I've never heard about it.

    Maybe I should search for one...

    You know why those things are done in private?
    So no one will know about them.
    Losing privacy IS a problem, even if it's equal.

    Bullshit.
    Not total fantasy, but bullshit.
    NYC has extremely restrictive gun laws, but it is (in theory) possible to get a carry permit.
    The rest of the state has restrictive laws, but it it still possible to get a carry permit.
    See packing.org's New York page for details.
    An excerpt:
    New York State requires a license for simple possession as well as for concealed carry. The Court Of Appeals ruled that restrictions on carry licenses, while administrative in nature, are allowable. Premise licenses as well as carry licenses restricted for sporting purposes are near shall issue, although difficult to obtain in certain counties (and the City of New York). Unrestricted carry licenses are easy to obtain or near impossible, depending on which county you apply in.

    Nope.

    I wish I had a pithy quote for you.

    How about "I read your email"

    That wouldn't do?

    I used to work with EDS via a timecard and let's just say they are not the most stellar performers in IT.

    If the company I work for had a single client, one willing to pay anything to get results, yeah, SOWing a massive effort might make sense.
    But we've got lots of clients, and we want more, so we don't pad the hours for free money (reference accounts drive sales).
    There's fiscal reasons for being reasonable.
