HI, E. I'm in total agreement... such behavior would be unethical and
slimy, (to say the leasst). Oh well. People can write whatever they want
to, though. Smile. BTW, there's nothing wrong with being old fashioned. I
think it's great.

This is an example where one person's humor is far from funny to somebody
else. I have a different take on the scene you describe.
Call me old fashioned.
To me it seems unethical and somewhat slimy.
Forgive me for sounding insulting. I just disagree about the described scene
being amusing.
