Notes

The Robert Fripp link is no longer good, and archive.org didn't have the appropriate entry archived. However, the complete diary entry (2002-04-08) is quoted here. The diary entry was apparently based on an earlier (1999-03-24) article by Fripp, Business Aims.

From Robert Fripp's online diary at [ http://www.disciplineglobalmobile.com/diary/diary-RobertFripp.shtml ]:

RF wrote

A company which would rather conduct its business:

• verbally (particularly with regard to disputed issues) instead of committing its views to writing;
• commonly resorts to litigation, or employs the frequent threat of such;
• employs gagging clauses as standard policy;
• pays its directors highly disproportionate sums in comparison with its employees;

this company is suspect and should be avoided wherever possible.

It is a sad commentary on current business and public life that this needs to be written, or debated.

Points 1, 2, and 3 seemed especially relevant to certain recent debates.
