Adding to that, in grid people, `share' means ``aren't there
any idle oxen down on which I can get laid my burden?   My
oxen are full already.''

Of course, everybody's oxen are full and there is no `share'
in them resulting the failure of inter-organization grid.

There can be a intra-organization grid.  But what it differs
from a cluster?
