Repeat after me, Si:

**Contractor** as defined in Websters Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary: "one
that contracts or is party to a contract: as in one that contracts to
perform work or provide supplies on a large scale"

**Contract** as defined in Websters Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary: "a
business arrangement for the supply of certain goods or services at a fixed
price"

Was that so hard!

Jesus H. Christ! Bass is right. There must be a bunch of high school drop
outs in this trade because they are sure not proving any different here. Try
reading and more importantly  understanding what you are reading for once!

And the statute says a contract (read the definition again just incase you
forgot it already) that is expressed or implied.....do you know what that
means? Do you think RBL just might get paid (compensation) for his goods
and/or services or is it out of the goodness of his heart?

Drop it Don. Comments, like Si's above, prove what I expected from some
here. I often wonder how most run their entire business from the dash board
of their 82' Jitney van full of magnetic signs.
