My dad sold a small business in the early 80's. The buyer tried to force a non-compete clause that was absolutely ridiculous. My dad would've had to move to work! His lawyer told the buyer no way... they haggled for a long time, but eventually left it out. I guess you can't blame people for trying, we just have to know when to say no. Susan H. > Exactly Dan.
