JoannI agree Jeff. I'm sure Doug is a bit nervous. I feel kind of bad about that. I don't know him from Adam, but I suspect he's a good guy that pushed the limits a bit.
I interpreted the 'fixing corners' as the laying down corners practice that has been the subject of debate here several times, with many board members saying they don't see anything wrong with laying down a corner that is stuck up a little bit. If what that means is a corner rebuild or something like that, then obviously it is considered unethical.
As to removing creases, that had some debate here with most people saying it shouldn't happen and it seemed like that one was the one that got Mastro to rethink what it was doing - not because they considered it wrong but because they saw that the hobby and customer base disapproved of the practice. That's just my recollection of the course of events, threads and posts, but it could be wrong. Hell, I can hardly remember what I had for breakfast!
I just thought it was notable that the first list of 'card doctor' practices read very closely to the list of things that were discussed here at length, particularly as related to Mastro, came down on the side of a majority here disapproving (but far from unanimously), and Mastro changed policy.
