Yes, we should label businesses. That's different from describing the type
of industry.

You're *still* trying to convince me of this? Give it up, Roy. I'm mapping
for the present, and for the forseeable future, not the dim distant
vapourware future. If you're happy throwing data into a database in the hope
that one day software will materialise that will make sense of it, more
power to you. I'm not interested in doing things that way. I just don't
believe things work that way. Sorry. Please do not try and convince me
otherwise.
