that bit.

Bill has not been fighting for this job since the beginning. Anyone
who wants it can have it. Bill will even sent you a gift if you take
it, upon delivery!


Hey Bill - if you really do not and did not want this job - why didn't you
just say "No"?

Cause my agent wanted to do a favor for her friend--I mean customer.
So far, I haven't even been thanked by the agent for so carefully
writing up a bid. ; )

Your subject line in this thread even implies you were
somewhat thrilled at this invitation.

Whatever I typed, I was never thrilled. The most fun I had with it was
thinking about how I could use a disc sander on it. The business aspect
of it was not wasted on me either. I haven't had much experience
being on the seller-side in recent years.

What sort of projects are you working on Mike?
