And all through the event, frosty messages with STBXW with a final request for the value of my IT equipment (really? Its so insignificant).
Why go back and forth on the value of IT equipment during S's event putting a damper on it for you? That's certainly is not an urgent issue. Deal via email waiting until you have time to consider and focus on it...or through a L. Lots of posters have made that suggestion, but you don't seem to follow that advice?
I didn't engage, nor go back and forth. I'm just pointing out the current mood.
