Mike now:
Yep, you're right, I apologize. I should have made clear the *not 
unethical" did NOT from your post. I should have made it clear that 
it was me that added that, and that you only said it would be "the 
best" for the common good. In fact, I should have left off the whole 
explanation, and left it at "flippant" and "ironic", which is where 
I had originally stopped.

So, once again, I apologize for adding words that you did not post. 
Mike
