I'm curious why you guys are talking about evil. I don't think anybody in this discussion has called Wal-Mart evil. I guess I'm posting this because that language is likely to be attributed to me, since I've been critical of the company. <sarcasm>I was calling Wal-Mart evil around the same time I said that Dan gets his information from Rush, that prices are set in back room deals and compared myself to Mother Theresa.</sarcasm> I called Wal-Mart's aggressiveness toward vendors and employees greedy. I didn't call the company evil. Nick -- Nick Arnett [EMAIL PROTECTED] Messages: 408-904-7198 _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
