I'm INHUMAN I tell ya!...

Tim,

In short. "Size you up". Also consider all the fallout large and small businesses have been dealing with since 2008.

All the "Professionals" that have ripped off these companies from within or the Feds stiffening their observations of large corporations.

They are covering their butts. Crossing their "T"s and dotting their "I"s so if or when your solutions fail they have plausible deniability.

Peace and Success to you

Again, I run up "against" the "human x-factor." When it comes to business, I don't see where it fits into the scheme of things (though I also see that it obviously DOES fit in with the scheme of things, ie: happens all the time).

I just see it as a colossal waste of time + $$ (from BOTH sides of the business "partner" equation).

Any thoughts on this?
