That's pretty much how the scenario has unfolded. I don't have a contract with anyone at this point, which Foo and Quux both fail to grasp I guess. Word on the street is that Foo might just agree to pay Quux to shut them up. I'll try to show up at the next Beer Me(a|e)ting and share what I've learned. I've done my best to sever ties with Quux at this point, but what does that guarantee? They aren't exactly paragons of virtue. :-) I'll think about that addendum to the resume. I've interviewed people for positions, and if I had seen that on a resume, I think I would have asked about it, but it wouldn't have made me toss it. J
