None of us are perfect Chris. Staff groups can raise all the money they want
for charity as far as I am concerned. I'm just not all that hot on companies
using charity for cheap PR.

They had to announce the auction.  I mean, it only makes sense.  Further,
letting us all know that by bidding on those items, we could be helping the
victims of 911 only makes sense too.  That doesn't make it a cheap PR plug.

Look at the time and effort LD spent on those
auctions. Cost it. Compare that cost to the money raised.

How could _I_ possibly?  I have no idea what it took.  I'm sure it was less
than the several thousand dollars that they raised.

There is nothing to stop any company giving to charity all of the time, a
lot of individuals do.

And so do many companies.  What is your point?
