Actually being a study of business.. err... studies, I can say that very rarely do 'business secrets' actually make any difference to the said business.<div><br></div><div>I won't parrot on and get into an argument, but one of the forgotten virtues of capitalism is actually being open about things.

I can understand that, it would be good if businesses were more open and transparent, but that's always in their commercial interest. <br>
But now ( that James has indicated it was PIPE who decided this would happen) however no-one is really any the wiser as to why, but whatever caused it happened, life is still going along happily (for most) even there if there is an inconvenience, things happen all hte time that make you re evaluate your interests.<div class="im">
