As it should be. If only every company could be big enough to stand up and
say "We made a mistake, we learned from that mistake and we'll strive never
to do it again."
I, for one, applaud this.

I think the rarest part of your statement is the "learn from the mistake"...
I think one quarter every year of the last several, many companies unlearned
lessons they had learned the year earlier [new crop of sales people or
something]...
After seeing many of the sites I use throwing up pop-up advertisements
[which was considered gauche last year]... I have a feeling this is a losing
battle.
