[ QUOTE ]
As a former Australian company director, I can tell you that the rule here is, amongst others, to act in the best interests of the company. This is not limited to profit. [/ QUOTE ] I absolutely agree with you. Unfortunately, many people interpret this principle to mean that pursuit of profit must always take precedence. [ QUOTE ] In addition, I note your edit to act in a "lawful" manner towards this supposed profit object. It would seem self-evident to me that stealing, defrauding and thieving from your customers (as the fruitloops who make this unsubstantiated allegations allege they are doing) is unlawful. I assume that stealing internationally is as unlawful as stealing from someone in the same country. [/ QUOTE ] Sometimes people get creative in their interpretations about what is lawful and what is not. For example, I don't recall specifics or names, but there was a scandal a couple years back about a certain company which had budgeted a set percentage of expenditures per fiscal year towards graft in countries where graft is effectively the only way to get things done. It was a big scandal, and I believe a law was passed in Congress in the wake of this scandal making that practice illegal, where before it had been seen as a practice of ambiguous legality due to a lack of a specific law prohibiting the practice. The idea that graft can be okay depending upon the circumstances is nonsense, but when it comes to money, people can get very creative. But I am speaking in generalities here, bear in mind, and I am not suggesting that everyone in business is unethical. To the contrary, I probably am in a minority of people who believe that most people in business are ethical and succeed ethically. More to the point, I find it difficult to win on PS, but I do not attribute this to anything other than the fact that I'm just not the best player, and there are many better players out there than me, and most of them play on PS. I look at my stats and nothing looks out of the ordinary. My aces have won 90%, kings 80%, queens 78, and AK suited 75. Seems reasonable. All just my humble opinion. Cheers.
