I think people need to make up their own mind. Golly gosh, are people 
so slow that they don't bother to read posts? Come up with your own 
ethical standards and try to stick by them. But if you're called on 
them, you should also be prepared to justify them (which is why HCB 
is such a hypocrite).

My rules are my rules based on my situation. I *never* said that I 
thought that anyone had to adopt them.
