H&R Block's actions with respect to interest rates on the tax refund loans
is an issue separate from the Tax Cut software. This isn't to excuse the
other actions, and I do agree with your implicit message that H&R Block
can't be trusted. Nevertheless, I'm not going to get a tax refund loan, I'm
going to get tax preparation software.

Intuit has directly injured me. Because I have a longstanding relationship
with Intuit; because I do think their software is outstanding; and because I
do think everyone deserves a second chance, I've decided to wait a while
before severing my relationship with them.

But the clock is ticking. The smartest thing Intuit could do would be to
come out right now and say to its customers, "We were wrong. We made a
serious mistake. We deeply apologize to our valued customers. For a brief
moment, we forgot why we are in business. We will learn from our mistake,
and we will never do something like this again."

Intuit has very seriously damaged its good name. I hope someone in that
organization will wake up before it's too late. I can't tell you how shocked
I am by their bizarre behavior. A tax software company putting spyware on
their customer's computers is so weird you have to wonder whether someone at
Intuit has a corporate death wish.
