I understand your viewpoint there HQ, but...

I belive that he is a true competitor. Just because he's faceless doesn't mean he's not your competition. Look at blind shipping middlemen. Dude in Iowa wants to buy a load of lumber. Dude in Georgia buys it from dude in Oregon. Dude in Oregon ships it straight to dude in Iowa and neither Oregon or Iowa dude has any idea that dude in Georgia just made a killing on it. "Blind Billing". It's done every day. The guy is faceless, yet is still Oregon dudes competition because Oregon dude just got fucked out of the extra markup that Georgia dude slapped on it for Iowa dude. And the only one's that have any clue are Georgia dude, and me... the driver.

So... I disagree... you don't necessarily always see your competition, let alone be on good business terms with him.
