Re: Robinson Center/Middle deal.
From my viewpoint, there is not a lot of similarity between the two styles in question but Mr. Robinson has some interesting ideas about how to get into position for the deal.
I hope you get a chance to compare the methods.

I agree generally that no one should be treated shoddily, but if you decide to be on reality TV, you've seen the show and so many performers go on the show just to act like fools. Which is why it's always refreshing to see someone like the Pendragons perform.
