"I'm afraid I don't follow your reasoning very well when it comes to this matter of innovativeness--being a pioneer, an adapter, quick second, and so on. Seems you've always got to come up with something new, or it simply won't sell. I believe we agreed on that earlier when we discussed the concept that winners market unique, superior products. Further, if you've got something new, why in the world would you ever want to be less than first to market with it? You'll lose your uniqueness that way. Sounds like you've taken a simple practice and made it complex."
