Nope, they are quite specific (please read appropriate section of Porter's
Handbook).

I strongly disagree. Rules *are* rules, no matter now stupid they are. As I said
earlier (many times in fact) if you feel that the current rules is stupid please
come with appropriate proposal and let us discuss it untill consensul will be
reached how those rules should be changed for better. Only after that you can use
new scheme, not otherwise .
