You're a "Kairetsu". I finally bothered to go dig out just what this was, it took a while to find this reference that gave me some form of a definition: Mutasa pointed to the role of small to medium enterprises as an engine for growth. In Japan they call this the Kairetsu. It is the hidden wealth creating machine which also abounds in Europe. It is striking to appreciate what the Germans call the Mittlestand The Mittelstand is Germanys conglomeration of small firms creating wealth from exports. These firms are supported by two factors. One a national export infrastructure and two the business orientation (or culture) of small firms. Yes, we are a Kairetsu, and rapidly moving from the ``small'' to the ``medium'' class as enterprises go :-) -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX @ CN85sl - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
