Np, split hairs. Dell employees push unnecessary products because the corporate culture rewards them to do so and they embezzle on the side. Happy? Is there a connection? Corporate greed, private greed. Do as I say, not as I do. Inadequate safeguards allow and encourage employee embezzlement. It's like these companies are reinventing the wheel. You do know the old story of locking the barn door after the horse has escaped?

When you say something like "Corporation ABC has a history of ..." you're implying that the corporation itself has done something bad (like, say, marketing cigarettes to minors when you know they cause cancer). That's clearly not the case you mention here. This is no different from a bank employee making charges to your account and pocketing the money. It's embezzlement, and the corporation is one of the victims, not the perpetrator (or, as one of our local newsguys sometimes says, the "guilty perpetrator"). Now, I'm not saying that Dell has never done anything wrong. But that's not this case. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
