Might be I didn't understand just each point in your message, but, if I receive an offer for a job by e-mail, and if I send them some parts of this work back, or in entirety, which is done in any other application - does that mean that I should register "professional" version of TB? Am I "guilty" if people offers me jobs using my e-mail address? Should I send then my work to them using some other mailer? There, now you have even more ethical dilemmas. (-: Apart from this, I notice that TB is very, very exceptionally uncommonly rarely used in companies, as "official" mailer, therefore the "professional" one. (We know which mailer, outspread like a plague, is used in a such role, and it's coming as "free" one, together with the paid OS. That is, if you buy a camel, you get a mangy parakeet "gratis". And since we all use TB, we all own a camel or two as well, therefore the mangy gratis parakeets too.) So you see, some "ethical dilemmas" always exist. We are humans, we devised the ethics/moral (although the Cosmos/Universe perfectly works all the time without any "moral" or "ethics"), and we have to live with this, no matter what happens, therefore regardless that panta rei, that is, the Shelley, who loved equally ancient Greeks and old good Sanskrit "literature". (: Since today is Wednesday, I think we should use our favorite mailers "beyond good and evil", and if this helps somehow then it helps, although it might help even if it doesn't help just somehow but entirely, that is anyhow, actually the latter way of helping is even more helpful. That much. I wouldn't induce more confusion, then needed, even if I yearn for this. Forbearing is a property of Greats.
