Good post.  It's always good to consider the other party and how you would like it if they acted like you do!   And it extends beyond 'lying.'   Recently I read someone's twitter post:  "Accepted one position.  Waiting to see if a better one comes through [so I can dump the first co]."   I had to wonder how job applicants would like it if I wrote:   "Hired good candidate.  Waiting to see if someone better comes along."
