Just to clarify, this isn't a statement about you per se but about the nature of ethics. IMO, unethical behavior is almost *defined* by the use of "It's just how things are done," or "Everybody does it" or "They do it, too." Ethics are about doing the right thing no matter what anyone else does. ------------------------ Yahoo!
