Everyone knows they have a bunch of algorithms that really make them unique...nobody really knows all the details of those algorithms.<BR/><BR/>I think that's the sort of thing you are talking about here...it's fine to say "I have this idea X and I think it will work because of Y and Z"...go into as much detail as a listener will allow you about X...and get into as much detail as you can with Y and Z without giving away the actual algoritms...<BR/><BR/>Just my two cents.Kevin Marshallblog.botfu.comnoreply@blogger.com
