Hi,

I don't know if Aspirin is such a good example, it was given up to the
Allies by Germany as reparation for World War one.  Thats why Aspirin is
aspirin, and nobody owns the patent.   The trademark was passed into the
public domain.

Your point is taken however.

Just for giggles, I did a whois on traders...  Here are some of the returns

 Those are just name that begin with traders, there must be thousands that
end in traders, e.g. xxxxxxtraders.com

One big boy in the food and agriculture area is http://foodtrader.com/ which
has a lot of money behind it.  Wait and see is still my bet.
