I hear you, Garland ... it's happened to all of us at one time or another, I assume.

A few of the changes going into JVNP 2.0 actually have a lot to do with increasing the level of connection between the merchant and the potential JV partner, and making both more accountable ... with any luck, by the time prelaunch comes all parties will have a better understanding of who and what they're working with than ever before. It will take a little work on both sides, but if they're serious about making the most of what each has to offer ... it will be worth it, IMHO.

Cheers,

Mike
