Can anyone explain why the idea of 'helping WOTC sell more PHBs' is
apparently so morally repugnant, if the method of doing so also lines the
outside developers pockets as well?
That is, if someone offers me 100.00, but notes that for every 100.00 I
accept, he will ALSO give 50 dollars to Justin Bacon, I'd be an idiot to
refuse the money on the ground you'd get some, too. It's not like he was
originally offering me 150.00 and now I have to split it.
