I'm just curious if the people who are upset by the OPs behavior are also upset by people who thread needles through complex rules - like tax codes, building codes, environmental regulations, etc - to benefit themselves or their companies.
While I wouldn't go to the lengths that the OP is suggesting to save $25, I don't see the difference.
I don't have any interest in turning this into an OMNI thread, so I'm avoiding any specific examples, but I'm interested in the justification if anyone sees a difference?
