Corey,

"Legalized Fraud" is a perfect way to sum up these kinds of deals. I appreciate the responses I've received from you and others in the legal profession, both here and via private e-mails. I've read and given thought to all of them.

It's pretty clear to me that I'm in for a huge hassle and possibly very little gain once attorney fees are factored in, should I pursue this in the courts. I expected as much, which is why I wasn't inclined to go that route.

I'm probably about as far from the litigious type as you'll find on this board. There are almost always other ways of resolving things, in my opinion. That doesn't mean I'm going to lie down and let myself get taken advantage of, however. It's not an open invitation for anyone I do business with to steal from me.

I don't plan on letting it go, but I doubt I'll pursue it through our court system.

What's really annoying is that by treating me this way, they only created a lose-lose situation. I'm guessing they thought screwing me for a few thousand bucks was a win-lose in their favor, maybe? It's obviously going to cost them a lot more than that in lost business. I'm still not sure what the logic was there, but yes, any frustration you're sensing from me is very real.
