Mark,
I agree completely with your thoughts on 'free dissemination' see my rant -

Unfortunately a culture of secrecy, particularly amongst divers, has sprung from the competitive situation in some fleets.
There senior divers have fought their way to the 'top' gaining promotion by employing skills/techniques
which they do not pass-on easily. Oysters and pearls comes to mind.
I think with the introduction of DW, this culture is changing, but slowly. The 'Tips' vault and Landlubbers are steps in the right direction.
This type of sim is a minority interest and some fleets (tact) waste the precious asset which is new players
by hitting on them too hard too soon. Killers armed with 'secrets'
I try to contribute to Tips and others like Molon and OneShot freely impart information.
(not forgettting many, many others to whom we are deeply indebted)
From your experience I know you will also join this movement.
