Tenison

Let's not forget that much of what is happening is motivated by vested
interests and that does not exclude consultants (and others) who find a
niche at the forefront of a new technology/technique and then exploit it
like hell to be the first to be called in. I know, I've done it myself,
in other domains, but in the case of LF, there are a handful of
individual consultants, organisations and others just standing poised
with bated breath, waiting to roll in the lolly. And they will!

Sorry for the cynical note but that's the way life is.
