Profits are not the problem. The lack of _competition_ is the problem. You don't like how you're being treated? Vote with your feet. With enough such votes the bad ones either get the message and improve, or die. Either way, you (we) win. Yes, it can be inefficient. That's what makes it work. Systems that prevent you from doing this are Evil, regardless of the ideology in which they cloak themselves. It is also your (our) responsibility to provide good feedback. Traditionally it is a nice letter explaining why you will never darken their door again. Be nice. Be thorough. A walk, _with_ a letter, is at least 10x more effective than a walk alone. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
