You're quite right Dave. That's the way I've operated and always get good cooperation.
My colleague received good cooperation, but there was a general feeling that the restrictions on non-profit sharing with other modelers was a bit too much. The other factor is timing. They're generally more cooperative in the off season vs the summer tourist rush. Mike
