Thanks for weighing in, Wayne.

So let me say (without intentionally kissing your ass) that it was well-written, and eminently important. You’re talking about ethics and perceptions. Our industry suffers in both those areas. When the big guys make such sloppy mistakes, it makes the rest of us suspect. Aim high, folks, and scrutinize yourselves as you would your most worrisome rivals. Deborah,
