Like Lee, I have a group that I can trust and they trust me. That to me is very important and many times keeps me sane.

However, In some cases IF you know your idea is new and fresh and others will copy it, but you know you can be the BEST, it maybe a good idea to get them to brand the concept and you reap the rewards.
See that is where I'll disagree. To me, the 'newer' breed are less steeped in old fashioned ideals, such as integrity, or honesty for that matter. Instead they are searching for ways to cut corners, at the expense of others, without a thought about it. Yes, older ones are doing it too, but I think it is more of a sense of them trying to compete, with the new breed.
