don't see further general contracts with SI

Whenever one voluntarily enters the commons one accepts a contract, a minimal one, for sure, but still a contract to acknowledge the interests of one's fellows. I would say that the failure to recognize that puts one in the selfish camp, and not by Rand's definition. Whenever we shake hands, cyber shake though it may be, we make a commitment to not spit in the other party's eye until and unless we declare ourselves on un-friendly terms.
