George... refresh my memory. Weren't you the one who sometime in the last few months praising outsourcing to India? If you are not please accept my apologies in advance.
By the way... I went to church with a really dear friend of mine a couple weeks ago. Yes it was a Christian church and no I am not a Christian. Well not exactly... I was born one and I was baptized so technically I guess you could claim me as one if you want. I am proud of that part of my heritage and family. My experience with most Christian churches is I am welcome... as I was there. Why I am even bothering to bring this up is my friend was wearing the most beautiful turban... you see hats are coming back in style. You might be careful you could be hurting the whole industry with your hat comments. You might be interested in knowing my friend makes her own hats... no oursourcing to the far east for that girl! Unfortunately her best customer are cancer patients but she doesn't charge them so guess they really are customers.
Sorry to go on so... I did run spell check for my portion of this note... did not want to take away the full impact of yours. I copied a couple of your posts here to help refresh your memory.

Hello again everyone, this post has me somewhat concerned. I posted a few weeks ago what all of your ideas were on outsourcing of your final title policies. I got a limited but welcomed response. So I pose my question again to the forum in the hopes I can grab some insight on this sensitive subject.
My company specializes in producing final title policies for the lender or owner. We accept the file electronically with a fax cover sheet and any extra endorsements required. For us producing the policy is our sole business and we are very fast and efficient in doing so. The fact is, we do it for about half of what you or your company could do it for. So my question is, since we are an outsourcer who can do it faster and cheaper than you, would you choose not to do it simply because the taste it leaves in your mouth? Outsourcing has become a dirty word in America, but we need to look deeper into the origination of outsourcing. Americans unfortunately don't take pride in their work and frankly I have had title company owners tell me they don't produce an actual policy until the owner or lender ask for it because it saves them money to not produce it. So is my company who is willing to do the work no one else wants to do the evil outsourcer? I appreciate all your opinions and humbly await your replies.
George

Robert and Jason, thank you for replying. I believe there is a truly deeper issue at hand here. in my humble opinion I believe Americans for the most part have become a gluttenous society always thinking of how they can get ahead, get a price break, save a penny, undercut someone and generally have the opinion they are entitled to things. It costs an average of 5,000 extra to produce and American car because we pay the Union floor sweeper 60k a year to sit on his ass because the Union says he is entitled to it.
What happened to the days when people went to a bank or a beautician or a title company for instance, because they knew they were getting the best service, maybe at a higher price? If there wasn't a true need for outsourcing demanded by the consumer, there would never be a need for it. We as the consumers are just as responsible for the advent of outsourcing as the companies that utilize outsourcers. I think we should look inward first because we forced the companies that provide for us, to look outward. We can all do our part and buy American made products, but you need to realize yes it's gonna cost more. Therein will lie the activist versus the theologist.
Just my opinion by the way.
George
