This is one reason I laugh at all the sheeple who go apes**t over a Wal*Mart, a Microsoft, or a Google. They see size as a threat, but usually size is only a threat to itself. When companies get too big, they lose agility, and in a free market capitalist economy the prize goes not to the biggest or strongest, but the most agile.
