You are somewhat contradicting yourself here. If we show that we care based
on our actions, then why do we need a badge that says we care?  Our actions
should speak louder than a code of conduct.

If we want a code of conduct, then that is fine. I guess my point was...
how does that change how we currently do business? Seems that from your
comments, it changes nothing.  Now we just have some words on a page; not
that I am opposed to this.

My 2 cents,
William
