ragnar & Jaffa:

I'm definitely going to try to distill some of this for my dialog with Ari Jaaksi at the Summit; the tension that ragnar is discussing (competitive advantage vs. openness) is one of the core issues of corporate / community interaction.

EDIT: I did some distillation in a post in that thread. If you want to continue your discussion over there (or just correct my misreadings of your arguments), you're welcome to!
