This bizarre attitude is unfortunately very commonplace. ;-)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And that Matt is why nobody will "disclose a few relationships to stay out of some pending trouble". Because then they won't do business with you. Disclosure provides another reason to say "No".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lynne Jolitz&lt;br&gt;Chief Technology Officer&lt;br&gt;CoolClip Network&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Lynne Jolitz</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 14 Jun 2006 06:48:20 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
