I misjudged the depth of their pockets.


That's what I'm saying, if you had gone with a price that would make it worth your time instead of a price you thought they'd decline, it would be worthwhile. I see how you can fall into that trap, though.


Trust me, it was enough that I should have been happy and it still wasn't enough.


Then it wasn't enough :p We'll never stop arguing, but consider this: Wouldn't you be happy doing it for a billion dollars? Somewhere between that and what you got is your "happiness threshold", it's just that it's more than what you got now.

Unless you wouldn't have been happy with any amount of money, in which case I assume your client was the third Reich!

Ah, I see now :P
