Jed, In an ideal world I agree with you. In the long run it is also the only way to travel. Unfortunately people think they are in a dominating position and that they must benefit from that situation just now. I dont know that it was better in "the good old times". It was different and much more went "under the radar". My believe is that it is more fair people and the best advice is to distance oneself from the shady ones. Not an easy rule to follow I admit.
However. there are all sorts of people out there and most of the time it is wise to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
