MBA=Masters of Blithering Absconders 0

Alex Beam at the Boston Globe illustrates one of those “MBA oaths” that seem to be fashionable amongst B-schools. A nugget:

Pledge:

I will manage my enterprise with loyalty and care, and will not advance my personal interests at the expense of my enterprise or society.

Illustration:

“Bret Grebow, a 28-year-old fund manager, bought a new $160,000 Lamborghini Gallardo as a treat and regularly traveled with his girlfriend between his New York office and a home in Highland Beach, Fla., on a private jet. . . . Grebow eventually pled guilty to defrauding investors of more than $7 million while helping to operate a Ponzi scheme. . .’’ Gregory Zuckerman, “The Greatest Trade Ever’’

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
