GUEST CONTRIBUTIONS
If you would like to contribute cases to this site, please contact: Dr. Lee L. Lowery, Jr. As you might imagine, the format of your case should agree with the others herein, names changed to protect the guilty, be non-libelous, and must be ready to go. Credit for guest contributions will be given and guest cases will be maintained in this subdirectory. You may ask for its removal at any time. We would appreciate your permission to include your e-mail, so that user questions can easily be directed to the person most familiar with the case. You should also be prepared to get traffic, as the site is rather active and no one will agree with your opinion.

- So how ethical would you say this is? How likely would it be that someone would even catch them at it? How much money will they make if no one notices? What could you do about it even if you noticed? They didn’t actually say 25 more loads than the last box you bought, did they? Could be 25 more loads than someone else’s product. Would you buy something else, change your brand loyalty, even with proof of such shenanigans? (Author anonymous by request.)
