I wasn't interested in getting myself involved in that so I let it die and never contacted you again.

When you posted in my thread I told you I would contact you that night, and I did the next night. I told you via ICQ that it had nothing to do with not wanting to speak to you, and I just wasn't interested in what you were offering. You replied that you felt that wasn't businesslike and I didn't bother replying back since I had no interest in arguing with you.

I don't need a lesson in what is and what isn't businesslike from you or anyone else. I have glowing references from over 10 years in this business, albeit mostly in a different sector, and I don't appreciate you coming in here and implying otherwise. The one thing I have afforded myself is the ability to not have to take the first offer that is thrown my way, and I choose not to work for someone that conducts themself they way you have.

That is pretty much all I have to say about the issue. It might help your business in the future to exude some of the professionalism you accuse others of lacking.
