I'd like to add my two cents, for what it's worth:
   1. We ALL believe in personal integrity as a way of life; we just all have
     a different idea about what 'personal integrity' really means.
   2. Mr. Merchant has no right to be flaming others' ethics, as those of us
     who know him have serious doubts concerning his own.
   3. Before certain individuals start whining about what the Dartmouth Honor
     Principle really means, they should spend some time living and working
     within the community which the Honor Principle has created. 
 
So there.
