Generally speaking ./ is not one of my top, most reliable, unbiased news
reporting locations.  But that's just a personal opinion.

Then you haven't done or listen to anyone whose done some research on
their business practices.  I don't have the data at the tip of my
fingers but what I have read has made me realize that the only "best
interest" they're concerned with is their bottom line.  Perfectly
understandable (expected even) but the sugar coating they want people to
believe about them being benevolent and interested in local communities
is bunk and doesn't sit well.  

Jim (not meaning to stir things up but after Monday morning traffic I'm
usually pretty surly)
