Gordon, if I remember correctly the guy said he had 1737 Authors.

1737 @ 2000 bucks a head is $3,474,000 by my reckoning.

Nice pickings.

Maybe got too big for their boots and forgotten where they came from.

Sounds like they are stretched to the limit anyway and may not deliver the service you deserve.
