I readily acknowledge all the points Morgan makes in her glass-half-full post 
about a former WHO code-flaunting company deciding to strive for compliance 
with that code.  

Of course I am in favor of companies doing this.  My response is, Mazel Tov 
(as in, it's about TIME they did this).  I'm just enough older than Morgan to be 
able to claim the right to be cantankerous and, well, grumpy.  She can just be 
happy I wasn't in that mode at High Tea last week :-)  

What makes me grumpiest of all is that so many people on this list are so 
easily bowled over into exuberant, triumphant and uncritical joy by a PRESS 
RELEASE saying that this could happen - if the companies involved keep their 
word.  Don't count your chickens before they're code compliant.  And don't 
put all your eggs in one pump collection container.  And please please please 
don't stop working to bring the US in line with the rest of the known world as 
far as attitudes to maternity leave and childrens' rights go.  

As far as mothers saying that Whatever Brand pumps suck - isn't that what 
they are meant to do??  (sorry, could not resist)
