Ah yes, I see that Steve believes that two wrongs CAN make a right.
Then I wonder why he's continuing to reply to posts on this thread?
What amazes me about Steve, is that he's got no shame about admitting that both he AND his wife conspired to pay less than they'd already mentally commited to paying. Those two must truly be made for each other.
I suppose in a weird way that makes Steve honest, at least about confessing how they both took advantage of a Home Depot employee's mistake. And, bragged about it right here on usenet where G-d knows who will be able to read about their "good fortune" for a loooooong time.
I express the same amazement over people who brag to me about how they're scamming the tax man whenever they can, and go into great detail to prove to me just how "clever" they are. I sure wish they'd keep it to themselves, and if they start barfing off about it, even if it's in front of a bunch of other people, I point out that a portion of what they gain by cheating on their taxes is coming out my pocket, and the pockets of everyone else who pays taxes.
I have a framed sign on my office wall reading:
There is no right way to do the wrong thing. (Thomas Huxley 1825-1895)
It states exactly how we strive to treat our clients, and woe be it to any employee of mine who doesn't adhere to that principle.
Lecture over,
