Fair enough. I agree that originality is not a 'no brainer'.

Well, yes, I do. I have (bet the farm, Moo) -- I believe that I
mentioned this in a recent de-lurking. For a small company it is
much more practical to avoid competing in the same expensive race as
everyone else. I don't know if we can be labelled as 'financially
conservative', although we sure are cheap.

A risk-averse company would indeed be unlikely to consider it
practical.

Neither was my intention and I apologise if it were read thus. I
hope I can be forgiven for forthrightly correcting the factual error
concerning our fate.
