As none of the above have a monopoly position on any generic class of product or service, ought not to be a a prodblem. Let the Marktetplace Provide, sez I (though admittedly, not very often, and only when it suits me). Just enough of the market share to dumb down the whole area by weight of numbers and "No-one ever got fired..." syndrome.

And so's Jorvik, too. Lots of places in Ireland were founded by the Vikings, actually, as a truly spectacular multi-media display in Cork Museum demostrates. (You press a button, and a little bulb lights up next to each.)

Why would you want to _suppress_ it, though? Or is this a buildings safety drill, for when a Sambucca Snorters(*) party gets out of hand, and one of the participants becomes a mini-Fireberg? I hate it when that happens.
(*) Or in a Lunar context, perhaps Gin Gulpers.
