Re: Side work

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Generally I follow the theme that I will be responsive to the client's 
customs and practices, and make every effort to do it their way.   There 
are several reasons I choose that route, but one of the reasons is that 
if anything does end up in court, judges generally are cognizant of who 
made the rules, and who agreed to them.  Its my experience that this 
falls to the favor of the one who did /not/ write the rules.
