How much should you have been charged? What do you think would have been fair? If you had been charged half the price, would you have felt... just as safe and secure. The cost of funding a business and keeping employees well trained is not getting any cheaper. Just as any task involves certification. I agree with you that it could be too much. But I don't know the perfect answer..... I wish you well Best Wishes In a message dated 10/29/2015 4:17:57 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
