Ah, so we're jumping ponds now, eh? That's the bigger hidden secret.

Point well taken, I didn't phrase it right. I was trying to make a point about limited growth. Monopolies can be cool... unless the pond wasn't that big to begin with. It all depends on the niche, yet another variable like I mentioned.
