Hmmph....

>>One creates demand by providing quality.

Pretty much a maxim already. Or is demand an achievement of quality? And what _is_ quality? Usually we mean 'of a high quality' when we say something has 'quality' - 'first class'. Although 'quality' may be, definitionally, substandard.... And although we can create demand for a substandard product (too easily IMHO), rarely is a sustained demand implemented. The definition of 'fad' is usually connected to these sorts of demands.

What can we provide that is of high quality here?
