@Trey: The point for me would be that this covers everything I'd want to let a friend know. It isn't that I need to tell them not to screw me, it's that I want to explain that it would be screwing. They might not even realize that. I'd rather spent 60 seconds explaining that I don't want the idea shared than be pissy at them later, trying to explain why sharing the idea bothered me.

@Larry: I'm totally stealing that. :)

@Hans: Sure, ideas aren't worth much without execution. If a friend wants to execute an idea, that's cool. I'd like to know about it, and if they can do it better than I can they're welcome to it. Heck, maybe we can work together. Ideas are not that hard. I'm more worried with them telling someone who isn't my friend.
