    You are a business owner. Albeit a very non diversified business that has chosen one customer to work for. Your only customer is SNI and that is the only one that you must please.

    You have chosen a painter to paint kitchen cabinets a cream base with mocha highlights. Your painter tells you that he will paint them purple with pink dots and a yellow lightning stripe down the side. How long will you put up with that painter? The painter is an independent business man; how dare anyone tell him how to do his job?

    The only option is to diversify your customer base.

    It's something like 17-18 hours now.
    I guess they don't want their load.
    I've given up, I'm dropping it and leaving. Schneider agrees.

    Sure some are the same. Just like any company that hires outside contractors to do work. The contractors own their business, but still have to do things the company that hires them wants them to do.
