I also assure you that the 70 IQ telemarketer that D&B sends my way will not get the same deference, nor information.

No, I am the New Accounts Manager for a multi Billion dollar company...we have rules to follow...using them is one. I completely understand why. I can tell you if you are in the automotive business and aren't listed by D&B, you are gonna have a hard time getting credit with your suppliers(and sometimes even harder time getting a chance to bid on contracts as this listing is often used by the people who decide to qualify your company for the contract). I bring the IRS up because when you get audited now, commercial suppliers are contacted sometimes, they reveiw all of the finaces..D@B is an industry standard way to see how a company is performing so it would only be natural to pull that too. I don't care what you say honestly, that is your perogative, I don't think it wise to disclose false information to a company that gathers financial info on a commercial level. Just tell them to go away...The way the laws are since Enron makes it hard to explain this move to a judge in any event (including Bankruptcy)don't you think? The president of a company has to assume PERSONAL responsibilty for the accounting practices of his company now under penalty of law. An audit would surely make the books "cooked " if they pull a D@B like you suggested. We don't do credit references for anyone...we refer them to D&B to avoid litigation if someone doesn't like what we have to say...Hope this makes it clear.
anyway...how about them Yankees....?
