>I was just thinking: Maybe I'm part of the problem too. I purchased Microsoft Stock in 1992. I didn't mind it a bit each time it split over the years. I didn't write in a raise the issue of lowering profits so we wouldn't have to pay more. Yes, I am part of the problem and I still own those shares.

I own stock.

That doesn't stop me from going into my bank (which I own stock in) and telling them that their service stinks, or that a particular "type" of service charge is unreasonable.
