PC767,
Firstly my apologies for mis-interpreting the thrust of your analogy. However, I've not said that BASSA don't negotiate either. I have however said that their direction concerns me. Whether or not those concerns prove to be valid remains to be seen. I am certainly concerned at the perceived unwillingness to disseminate all information handed to them in person by our reps and to selectively use it to paint our agreement in a different light to that which it actually is.
Such, it appears, is life.
