Bill - you should not speak outside of your area of expertise. Please
explain (you cannot...), how this will appear and how it will appear
favorably in an annual report. You really should not speak a about things
you only speculate on.

Well, we can watch for the annual report. Do you believe that the
board of directors and others who prepare annual reports won't show any
bias? Have you ever read an annual report? I expect it will say
something to the effect that "The CEO and other leaders in the company
acted quickly, smartly, and prudently in looking-out for the forward
interests of the company", or an equivalent self-pat on the back.
It's true that I didn't review all of the specifics of this case, as
Swingman suggested. I do recall some of the details now from a few
months back. I am in favor of all companies being good world citizens.
Particularly Gibson, since I like some of their guitars (as everyone
knows, guitars carry a huge amount of Karma!)


If we give a darn about our system (s), perhaps we should encourage
companies to pursue their innocence by making them pay more for their
(admitted) guilt. Our media systems have the power! Just a thought...

And you know nothing at all about the details - but in your secluded little
academic world, you feel priviledged to make this suggestion?

It is my privilege to make this suggestion under the 1st Ammendment to
the Constitution. No kiddding! Look it up, it's true!

Some of our systems (look at congress and our political parties) are
being "angle-shot" to high heaven!
