Mr Robinson is in a position to greatly help many people with a fine publication that can make a drastic difference in people's lives. So what does he do? He denys these people free and easy access to this publication. Why? Does it matter? He is rither totally incompetent or he just enjoys screwing people over. In either case, Mr Robinson's behavior is unethical. Why should people have to pay top dollar to buy something that the could easily provide?
