cannot be self-destructive because it's **impossible** from a philosophy of
economy point of view: the market reaches you anywhere you can hide :-D

to be clear: no one could even *imagine* that someone can stay out of the
market, at the same time no one can even *imagine* the market does not
change in history (at least to find an equilibrium)

we are here to _shape_ the software market of the coming future, aren't we?

ciao

P.S.: OK I'll rest at least for a couple of days, I swear! :-)
