Biz, do you really think you're going to succeed with that
attitude? If you're going to do something, commit 100% to it. If
not, forget about it. Going in with a half-baked atittude like what
you've shown above is the surest way to have a balls-up.
You say you've got nothing to lose, but at the same time it's
important enough for you to start a thread about this. Sure you're
nervous, sure you're somewhat paranoid about what will happen -
anybody would be. On the other hand, you're putting up a lot of
defenses that are going to trip you up if you're not careful.
I concur with ntu slacker - face-to-face is the best way to go, and
I've already asserted that point ad nauseum on the other thread, so
I'll leave it at that.
