I don't have a problem with it.  I have a lot of hobbies I enjoy.

Not at all.  I have been conducting business for a fair while now.  I also
understand that my customers are not always representative of the whole
community and that their wants and needs do not always match the public good.

Business is business, just that, it isn't the holy grail of human behaviour
and if you wish to model your whole life on business practices, that is up to
you.  Being in business is only one facet of my life, I look at the broader
picture more often than not.  Nor do I consider only my business interests
when I'm involved in something I consider affects the whole community.

I'm afraid it is your own beliefs and thinking that have be on show here and a
very poor showing too most of the time.

Good business is about servicing your customers and performing in their and
your best interests.  That isn't always the case.  For every good business
there are a number of bad ones around.

BTW..I wouldn't pay for anything I already know or didn't request.
