is that I haven't actually copied 6 pages from TCR. I only said I would if the price were over $50. I guess there's no difference between thinking about committing a major criminal act (like copying 6 pages) and actually doing it.

I wonder how that black and white thing applies to chip dealers conceal the fact that they've found a box of 50 R-9 chips, and advertise them as such, and won't tell anyone how many they have. I wonder how that jives with CCGTCC ethics code 9) "To furnish requested advice to the best of my ability and knowledge, and not to take advantage of superior knowledge on my part to the disadvantage of a less knowledgeable collector.", and how that compares to copying 6 pages of a catalog.

It's great to live in a black and white world, but the fact is, like you said, there is a sliding scale of evil. You're right - swiping a pencil from work should be treated the same way as stealing a copy machine. Lying to congress about a blow job from Monica Lewinski should be treated the same as denying the right of habeas corpus, conducting torture, lying about ignoring warnings about a major hurricane, and illegal wiretapping of US citizens.

BTW - Bazookas are out, RPG's are in.
