Bill,
I agree with you completely, however, the criteria as listed by the government is very specific.
Go to www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p15a.pdf and look at the right side of page six.
The oil and gas lease companies have hires abstractors who agree only to work with them and that may make them an employee. There are other ways you can be considered an employee. I think most of us are safe but we should be careful.
Rob
