Would just like to make a final point on that. I agree, however as he was in addition to his ship business, served as a director of several other companies. Now although many of the 1st class elite where wealthy men of power, I doubt any had any of the influence he had. Ismay after all was in charge of the 'company' who paid smiths wage's. Soooooo in that respect atleast I find it unfair to compare him to the rest of the passengers, regardless of how he perceived himself on the ship.

On another note, picard, would you like to give a reason for that? Would be appreciated if you answered in one of the many (actually far tooooo many) conspiracy threads so as to not derail this thread, much apreicated.

Adios!
