[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1832752, member: 42463"] Well your scruples are not mine and if you can knowingly produce an inferior product, knowing it will be purchased by people thinking it is better than it is, and be okay with it... then you and I will be drawing different lines. My customers knew what I was selling and they paid more because they knew what they could expect. That's the way I made money. I'm proud of that, just like I'm proud of being faithful to my wife or proud of raising kids that never ran into legal problems and are making their own way in the world. Have I been tempted to cross the line? You bet. We had a couple of lean years in Arkansas until I started dealing cattle. And being honest with my customers built my business and in the long run I wouldn't have done it any other way. And as long as I was capable of making money supplying the best I could produce I never had to stoop to cheating people. And I've never been so greedy that I'd lie to make more money. And a lie of omission is still a lie. There's too much money to be made doing what's right to bother with the few extra pennies to be made fleecing the ignorant. [/QUOTE]
