If you'd just apologize and stop endorsing this unethical program, the problem would simply go away. As long as you continue to endorse (and make excuses for) it while profiting from it, you'll continue to look bad in the eyes of the publishing community. <BR/><BR/>And, yes, what John Johnson did was unethical. But, his situation has nothing to do with yours. Trying to turn attention to other people's actions when you're the one in hot water just makes you look desperate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
