NDA's are both common and reasonable. I generally sign NDA's during contract negotiations. So that I can better understand the problem at hand. 1) Is it specific. 2) If the information becomes public and I didn't put there then I will have the same rights as anyone getting the information from a public source. Ther reason for this is I do not to be put at a disadvange if the information in a NDA becomes public. Non-competes are tough to write and very tough to enforce. Better to write tighter contracts covering the work and confidential informations. Walter Banks
