Well, I will endeavor to illuminate.

Anyway, I look forward to some illuminating exchanges here :-)-Roland

Thanks J Scott and Jon for more illumination of the issues I have raised.

Nothing added plus anything gained certainly is a benefit on their end.My point is not to condone their behavior but illuminate, especially in a recession of this magnitude, the rational drivers that lead academics and "urban professionals" to such strategic maneuvers.

I like to call it informing or illuminating the BPO an most investors fail to understand this is part of any negotiations no matter the industry.Take a sports agent who is negotiating a free agent contract for a player in the prime of his/her career.

Thanks again to both of you for the illumination.

Working with electricians, plumbers, general contractors is an illuminating process.
