No, not actually. The only responsibility he has is to do whatever he feels like doing. It is nice to favour vendors who work with us but no-one is obligated to do so; trying to so is enforcing your moral code on another. That other is free to entirely reject your moral code at will. I get what you are saying but your statement is more accurate if you omit or change the word "responsibility". It does not belong. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
