Good question, Ted. I nevertheless know by experience that the ordering
party is not always the culprit for the degradation of the human side of
business relations. The supplying party also tries to maximise turnover
and profit, i.e. work less for each customer and get more money at the
end of the year.

It all boils down to business morality. Writing these 2 words side by
side shows how contradictory they seem today...

Friendly regards,
