 You believe that being ethical is a weakness? In that case, you are 
 more like a Microsoft executive than you are like me. 
 
Ignoring the gratutious insult, I will simply reply that the subject was   
limitations, not weaknesses. [I wish you would cease twisting   
everyone's words. It might gain you some credibility.] You are, I trust,   
limited by your unwillingness to violently attack someone who offers   
some trivial offense; but I don't think you would call that a weakness. I   
hope you wouldn't. Certainly I wouldn't.

 There's abolutely nothing wrong with THAT. 
 
That is, of course, the nub of your desire to profit from others, and my   
unwillingness to do so. May you be happy with your ethics--I'm happy   
with mine.
