Hi Patrick! No, I don't take that bad at all! Well, when working at these companies, it is almost an abstractor vs. the company employee and vice versa. I have seen a temendous amount of rude and just generally awful people yell at the young and old professionals who work at these companies everyday when they need to "negotiate" a price. That is my reference to bashing and degrading. No, it wasn't evident in anyone's post. You are dead on about business owners weighing and calculating numbers. My stand on it is some business is better than no business. You just have to draw the line where it becomes not profitable.

Hope all is well with you!!
