         Well said.  So, how do you protect an idea with a non-disclosure 
agreement?  May I suggest the articles "When and How to Use Non-Disclosure 
Agreements" (http://www.gigalaw.com/articles/hollander-2000-03-p1.html) and 
"Trade Secrets in a Dot-Com World" 
(http://www.gigalaw.com/articles/grossman-2000-05c-p1.html).
