Hi, Andrew:  I confess I must be eating the pages, instead of reading the 
words.  PERFECT!   Exactly.  Both consumers and producers.  Got to remember 
that.  Well, then, I think your last sentence above shouts for support from 
the world community.   A system for the People, By the People, and the 
promise of opportunity waits.  Thanks for your remarkable patience and 
understanding.
