that's the way i've always worked to.

and ya know, if i hire someone to change oil in my car, i dont let 'em put a bumper sticker on it that says "oil change by jiffy lube". and if a contractor does some work on the house, or even BUILDS the house, i dont let 'em stab a sign in yard that says "house by bubba's construction co".

I dont get it.

now if you wanna give me a design for free, i might give you a link. hell, even then i dont know if i'd agree to it being on EVERY PAGE.
