In my world, (a place requiring a much more Left-jaded field of vision than I suspect you're capable of ;0), a person who knowingly violates "the spirit of the law" is as culpable as some one who violates the law literally. You seem to be here: >>They are not >criminals< because what they were doing was perfectly legit. drawing a distinction that I, and I suspect Brandioch, does not draw.
Post #32,529 by Brandioch 3/17/02 7:24:14 PM Reply	Technically not criminals. But I'm still wondering why someone who seeks to use a loophole to advantage his/her company would work to close said loophole.
Post #32,531 by mmoffitt 3/17/02 7:38:38 PM Reply	That is indeed a fascinating notion.

The policy is a part of the public record. - (bepatient) - (75) - March 11, 2002, 03:10:15 PM EST

Sorry, thought that was rhetorical. - (mmoffitt) - (72) - March 11, 2002, 03:22:41 PM EST

I knew the bias would come out if I waited long enough. - (mmoffitt) - (66) - March 12, 2002, 09:07:21 AM EST

That's not the problem - (drewk) - (12) - March 12, 2002, 10:33:50 AM EST

That's why we should do it in public. - (Brandioch) - March 12, 2002, 02:48:44 PM EST

Absolutely, completely and uttlerly wrong. - (bepatient) - (5) - March 12, 2002, 03:26:21 PM EST

Keeping my example...and to illustrate other answer. - (bepatient) - (46) - March 12, 2002, 03:34:20 PM EST

How are you going to know about the problem? - (bepatient) - (35) - March 13, 2002, 01:44:27 PM EST

Again, an interesting world you live in. - (Brandioch) - (33) - March 13, 2002, 02:04:17 PM EST

Not much of a reader are you. - (bepatient) - (32) - March 13, 2002, 02:08:49 PM EST

You say "balance". - (Brandioch) - (31) - March 13, 2002, 02:19:18 PM EST

The order of those events is the key. - (Brandioch) - (26) - March 14, 2002, 03:11:41 PM EST

Who do you think monitors the laws? - (bepatient) - (25) - March 14, 2002, 05:57:23 PM EST

The eco-freaks do. - (Brandioch) - (24) - March 14, 2002, 06:19:04 PM EST

Why do I think they do? - (bepatient) - (23) - March 14, 2002, 07:20:09 PM EST

You use that phrase, but I do not think you understand it. - (Brandioch) - (22) - March 14, 2002, 08:00:27 PM EST

You don't know what you're talking about. - (bepatient) - (21) - March 14, 2002, 08:45:42 PM EST

Ah, the old "I have secret wisdom and you don't" ploy. - (Brandioch) - (20) - March 14, 2002, 09:48:21 PM EST

Courtesy request - (ben_tilly) - March 14, 2002, 11:48:55 PM EST

Ah...I see. - (bepatient) - (18) - March 15, 2002, 08:20:52 AM EST

Ah, since I slammed your "secret wisdom of the ancients"... - (Brandioch) - (17) - March 15, 2002, 10:58:50 AM EST

Just applying your "logic" - (bepatient) - (16) - March 15, 2002, 11:09:42 AM EST

Another successful application of filtering. - (Brandioch) - (15) - March 15, 2002, 12:39:08 PM EST

I can see... - (bepatient) - (14) - March 15, 2002, 03:25:52 PM EST

I can see you're still filtering. - (Brandioch) - (13) - March 15, 2002, 03:55:04 PM EST

No. - (bepatient) - (12) - March 15, 2002, 04:36:45 PM EST

Strange...... - (Brandioch) - (6) - March 16, 2002, 08:30:22 PM EST

Nope. You can't read. -NT - (bepatient) - (5) - March 16, 2002, 08:53:07 PM EST

this space left blank -NT - (bepatient) - (1) - March 17, 2002, 12:25:55 PM EST

Again, why are you afraid of the facts? - (Brandioch) - March 17, 2002, 02:33:01 PM EST

Clarification please. - (mmoffitt) - (4) - March 17, 2002, 06:34:53 PM EST

Possibly. - (Brandioch) - March 18, 2002, 09:46:51 PM EST

You changed your hypothesis. - (mmoffitt) - March 14, 2002, 08:58:27 AM EST

Hmmmm..... - (Brandioch) - March 11, 2002, 03:26:10 PM EST
