You are right, I cannot trust anyone to screen the subs out for me because everyone has an agenda, or can have an agenda eventually because absolute power corrupts absolutely. So short of visiting your office and all that, which is impossible, we have no way of knowing for sure exactly what we are putting in our minds. Trust in the subliminal scripter is still mandatory.
Sadly I will not be using the subliminals. I wish all the sub users here all the best. I hope you know the risk you are taking, if you haven't thought about it. Shannon, for your customers' sake, I hope you don't misuse the tremendous power you have over your customers' minds.
And by not misusing it, I stand out from the crowd. If I was misusing it, time would be my enemy, because eventually that would have to be discovered. But because I am not misusing it, time is my friend, and can only prove that I am not misusing it.
Sad that you assume that everyone will have a hidden agenda. While that may be true of multi-party entities such as corporations and governments, who are made up of many people and whose level and probability of corruption is typically multiplied by the number of people making them up, one person acting under his or her own will can and with reasonable regularity will act according to a code of ethics and wisdom that prevents such abuses. This is one of the few good things about a monarchy as a form of government: if you get a good king or queen, they have the power to prevent corruption that may be the norm elsewise.
Common sense (and history) tells us that eventually the truth always comes out. If you want to succeed in the long run, therefore, you must always align yourself with the truth. Any other course of action will eventually bring you down. Our business model is one of long term success. That is why we can happily place our customers' best interests in front of making a profit, by creating programs that are better, more powerful and more effective at the cost of forcing the user to only use that one program for a period of time (sometimes months or even years at a time). That is why we have free programs that we offer, which can and do get used for 6+ months before people decide to buy anything at all. We understand that by having our customers' best interests at heart, and remaining reliable over time, we will earn a reputation for being not only the best, but our customers will come back for more. Even if not this week, or this month, or even this year.
This business model is wholly and completely contradictory to being dishonest, because time reveals all truths. And if the truth is not what you said it was, you kill yourself.
