I get in moods when i except a little or more extra or no deal. But when is a deal a deal I think it's like chess or checkers when you take you finger off it. These guys have their time booked to do that job. They don't have to time booked to go back and forth with customers. How much? $185 OK See you next week. The deal is done. Of course I'm talking about a combination of what is legal in Portland and what would seem to seem to be fair elsewhere. IN Chicago of course what is fair and Legal is how fast can you pay off the alderman. Then all is a go. Seth I've had worse luck involving the BBB than you have. F When i finally realized what a near joke theses guys are is when i joined. Afraid i' m not big on them. I am ALWAYS WITH my guard up when someone comes in becuae they are disgruntled with someone else. WHY are they disgruntled with this other deal I want to find out. Mostly often I'm not feeling like I'm getting the whole UN chockpped and clabbored story. If the fella thinks money was bad over there he'll be saying bad stuff about my money deal it's almost written by Charten Heston in Stereo Styrofoam Todd AO. Also the sad fact is we don't know Jack about Troy. On these other Photojournalist deals he's got conspicuously zero info and maybe one shot. I think this whole thing is a hoax. A Hotmail hoax. My only legal problem (ending in my favor decades ago) other than my divorce last year was on this topic. A professionals time. We don't always get the respect we desearve. :) Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.rabinergroup.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
