Mike, Last time someone threw one of these at me I read it very carefully, looked at them in disbelief, slowly slid it back across the table to them and told them EXACTLY which orifice to insert it and what size jackhammer to do it with.....I worked for them after this event for another 18months and then left when they tried the same rubbish on me again with new management. You were exactly in the right, there is such a thing as a fair NDA etc but there's wasn't. This said....I don't think one of these was what Josh was after...was it something more like you get this when you pay me this and payment terms future rights to this particular proj etc?
