Re: Speaking of ethics (was Re: Wal-Mart (and IBM)

[Guest guest]

Lynn: In all fairness, as part of this argument, I have taken exception to

YOUR ethics in the past with respect to the way you conduct business. I

commend you for not mentioning your business til now but that was not always

the case in past posts of yours.

In the posts below you promote yourself in your signature line in the first

one (a violation of our rules here). In the second one you had an objection

to our publishing a (free) cookbook strictly for the (undisclosed in your

post) reason that you hoped to publish one using our recipes and making

money from that venture. I knew this for a fact because you contacted me

off-list about doing that.

I am running a business (supplement sales, with most of my customers drawn

from the CR community), and I agree that business is difficult.
