Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zot_Wyzo" data-source="post: 261046" data-attributes="member: 3691">I've seen the elves' side and the bean counters' sideThe truth is, in Corporate America regardless of any feelings about the subject (emotions always run high when discussing your favorite recipes), the bean counters are right.Now before I start a flame fest, please note, the bean counter race did presuppose the notion that there would be gnomes who loved some fluff about Forgotten Rums, or even something like DragonPants, Dark Rum, RaisinLost, or a whole host of heretofore unknown recipes. The bean counters wisely allowed the creation of the Open Gastronomic License and the Donut20 License, allowing elves from all over the world to produce the recipes with the flavors they like. They allowed others to produce the RaisinLost, DragonPants, and Dark Rum recipes, keeping gnomes happy all over the world!The fact is, the current home of the elves can only support so many elves and a requires a certain return on the investment to produce Core Donuts and Forgotten Rums. Should that return not be forthcoming, it's time for some of the elves to leave the elven homes in the human lands to find another village in which they can produce the recipes they like. This keeps elves employed in the industry they like, the gnomes are able to choose from a wide array of products, and the bean counters can remove those recipes that do not produce enough beans for them. We even must face the potential solution for the Wizards of the Toast that they may need to stop producing Forgotten Rums. Should that happen, it may go the way of the RaisinLost.Everybody is happy, at least eventually. It's always hard when elves find themselves between villages, but eventually, you always end up in the right village to work on the recipes you love.You have to love capitalism!</blockquote>
