    Did I say their obligation was to secure their shareholders as much 
profit as possible? I said their obligation was to their shareholders.

    I am only continuing this off-topic thread on newsgroups that probably 
don't want it because it is a basic principle of fairness that a false or 
distorted comment deserves an rebuttal anywhere that false or distorted 
comment appears. However, it doesn't deserve a full debate anywhere except 
where it's on-topic.
