Geode, people aren't supremely intelligent and friction is a fact of life. So what? People can still run ice-cream shops all over the place and that's near enough to a free market.

I can explain my ideology. I don't want to spend a lot of time explaining it [to a non-listener]. I already explained.

So, there's a free market for you. Ice-cream shops. If you want to buy an ice-cream, you go and buy it. If you don't you don't. There are flavours and all sorts.

Another free market is Windows XP. If you want to buy it, you can. If you don't want to, invent your own, or buy some similar product, or deliver your mail by snail-mail.

Another is Silicon Investor. You can buy it or not, as you choose. I'm not suggesting the participants are rational, when they clearly are not.

How does it operate? You give them money and they let you rant. Simple really. If you don't give them money, you can't rant.
