[CH] Corporate Evilness

Hi All --

I was really hoping that this would be a good idea and that it would
be helpful both to "consumer" list members and the corporate types on
the list.  However, the response has been quite the opposite -- from
statements of "why bother" to correspondence bordering on hostility. 
At any rate, here is the list of folks who have responded to me up
until this point.  Susan has graciously offered to host the list, and
I plan on sending it to her sometime tomorrow.  So, if you have any
corrections or additions, please let me know before then.

I might not buy much that is chile-related, but when I do, I always
strive to purchase from list members.  I typically do not call out the
fact that I am a list member when I place the order because I do not
want the proprieter to feel "obligated" to send me anything extra.  If
anything, I am happy just giving my business to someone who is
"chasing a dream" that perhaps we all have (or, am I romanticizing
this too much?).  As such, I have ordered items from several list
members, but they likely never knew my affiliation when I placed the
order.
