Kim,

As I said, YMMV.

However, you surprise me; I am used to considerably more nuance and
sophistication from your corner!

Or by analogy: we all sin, therefore premeditated murderers are no
more culpable than you or I?

Come on now. It's not impossible to make objectively defensible
distinctions between companies.

> business is by nature unethical

Though I understand the context out of which such flippancy emerges,
aphoristic sound bytes like this are just ridiculous.

Not for this list, such debates, apologies. So I'll shut up now that
I've let out my bemused exasperation...
