No problem - i am new at this and i saw others added that way and followed suit. Co-OpTek is a growing business founded by and still lead by active members of the Religious Society of Friends who run the business in keeping with Friends' principles. Certainly modern business' working within that framework like Friend's Hospice, OpenConcept, etc. should be included to not misconstrue that Quaker principles in business are somehow archaic or only relate to 18-20th century big retail economics. While Friend's appreciate the wealth produced by Cadbury, Johns Hopkins and others while holding to principles, that isn't the point in doing business in a Quaker fashion. So can the businesses removed be returned without the external linkage? (BTW - i only added the one - the others removed were there for some time and the contributors for them should be notified, i am guessing - i don't want my error compounded by a "sweeping wide net" unrelated to my actions.)
