I don't think these geniuses, Web Gem Creators, really realize they're being so obstinate. Somehow it's like they're blinded by their own genius, and can't see past it, past the fantastic thing they're doing, to the next thing. But they're also probably very suspicious of anyone who wants to collect their precious creations. Seems to me that's kind of dumb. The value of a Gem to its creator is embedded in the gem. It's the ad content associated with the article the Gem links to. If you give away the Gem, to a collector - just some Joe out there on the Web - you do retain ownership of that "property" embedded in it. Collectors will only help you, to spread your assets around, where they can benefit you most.
