I take the other view. Somehow insurance companies have come to believe
that their shareholders are more important than human life. When an
insurance company makes a change that increases their profit a tiny
percentage, people die.

Again let me say that I do not advocate fraud or theft, but I will not play
policeman for multinational corporations. They wouldn't do it for me.

I'll look out for myself and for people on the piclist, that's where my
priorities are. If one of you is chipping Playstations it doesn't register
on my radar screen. It's like driving 5 mph over the speed limit. I've got
better ways to spend my time than try to cure all the world's ills. Also
that person driving over the speed limit might turn out to be a volunteer
fireman driving to the station in order to respond to a fire. Posting
cracks for Pic'N'Poke, on the other hand, is definitely a big no-no in my
book, and I'd be all over someone who did that.

Cheerful regards,

Bob Blick
