I am *not* trying to make this a personal attack, please don't take it as such.
Why would requesting a bid from a company you previously worked for be a negative thing? I'm trying to understand that. As an example, say you (Larry) got hired away from EBStor (I'm picking on you because you included your comany in your signature) to work as an IS director for a large corporation. The place is nice but you've got a small crew and lots of projects, including building (or rebuilding) an online presense for the compnay. You've got the money to pay for it but not the resources to build it. Would you not at least think about contracting the job out to EBStor? Someone else pointed out that no matter who was in office that people would make the "crony" case. Every elected official does this. Every individual does it too. We have places of business that we frequent because we like the people that run them. Until Later! Hatton > -----Original Message----- > From: Larry C.
