(...) Not to pick on you Felix (I would've voted for you in an ambassador contest or just about anything else your MOCs are so interesting ; ) but this line is worth responding to.

(...) I'll bite. This is a mixed question for sure. Product development and release of information are what need to be kept secret absolutely.
