OK, now I understand. But still, this isn't a gripe in particular
with the FPP, since the work you did on the Carmanians and the
Malkioni pre-dates it, more with the way that Greg and/or Issaries
have delt with you in this case. In fact the FPP is a step
forwards, since now it admits up front that they can do this, so
you'll know that, to quote Sam Goldwyn, a verbal contract is not
worth the paper it's written on, and to get Greg to agree to crrdit
you in writing next time!
