Tina,

If I may so, the lines that you draw for yourself are arbitrary, as
that is fine.  Matters of right and wrong often are.  It is a fallacy
though to imply that others lack integrity or honesty because they
draw the lines elsewhere.  In this particluar situation, I see nothing
dishonest about Rob's way of working.  On the contrary.  How can it
be dishonest if he openly talked about it ?

I bet you sleep better at night though.
