John,

If it were not for the fact that the relationships I have on BP have a direct
and positive effect on my personal health and the health of my business this
list would not exist. I'm stuck in the mode of believing that if you are in
the service business then by providing of service that you will be in
business.

As to the current BP uproar over commercial promotion, I do believe the line
is crossed, when we do not think to extricate the beam from our own eye
before throwing mixed metaphors. In my opinion it is not good policy or fair
play to say bad things about the competition.
