I think this issue is endemic to any situation where you are going to a thirdparty re work that you need done. The issues in play are:
1) what if another client comes to the service provider asking for the same service, what then? refuse everyone except the first guy? Wouldn't this have disastrous consequences?
2) ideas and near-ideas. I think this has been discussed earlier in this thread.
Other than that, its a question of trust. I make my clients MONEY. They point, we execute. If you feel you can't trust a service provider because it means you'll be sharing info, either subscribe to their confidentiality provisions/practices or do it yourself.

I am not saying you absolutely can't be trusted, but just that I have a problem trusting anyone with my ideas. I think you're a good guy, and a smart one. I think you run a good company, and possibly I shouldn't of posted what I said above but it is what I felt. No hard feelings on the issue, and believe me not being able to 'trust' someone with an idea usually isn't an abnormal thing. I guess I felt at the same time that with the idea that was in question it wasn't being used, and an outsourcing company could really put it into action without me, so I didn't feel comfortable with sharing any info.
