LOL!  Are you effin kidding me?  How did you get anything about "my 
philosophy" out of what I said there?

Please explain how you consider offering a custom/personalized *BOOK* 
for sale is "exploiting" anyone or anything.  Seriously.  It's offered 
for sale to those who might want it.  Nobody is being forced to do 
anything, nor being exploited.  What exactly is "immoral" about it?  
What are you even talking about?

 JD> Ok, got it.

I really don't think you do.
