Monk,

I have to react on "with peoples like you" - 'cause that's a load
of crap. You don't know me - you don't know my thoughts. From
what I've written, there's very little to conclude - especially on this
subject.

People will always differ on the subject of politics - there's no
"right" or "wrong" answer there. There's no such thing as "free" -
in any political system. People need to eat - if everyone is a farmer,
they can eat whatever they create themselves. But not everyone
is a farmer - and we (as a people) agreed on that a very long time
ago - some people are good at creating shovels to aid the farmers,
some are good at being a farmer, some are good at creating
clothes. All in exchange for (in the beginning) food or other things.

If someone writes a book and spends hours and hours and hours
doing so, he expects something in return.

As for free info - there's plenty of free info available on the internet -
you can get it, you can call the "ib-support" list for help. Heck, even
I would reply if I can help you - FOR FREE! And mind you, working
with database engines and helping people or creating systems/
applications is something I normally get paid for. So be happy if
people spend time answering your questions.

It's not a "flame" in any way - a decent answer was given to your
question.
