Based on experiences with other organizations that try to minimize costs, you can generally go back to a facility several times. Maybe even 5 or 6 times. But sooner or later, they will start to take you for granted and increase prices and/or decrease service. So, in my experience, it just doesn't work to try to keep using the same facility indefinitely. Which is unfortunate, because the first time you use a facility, there is a learning process on both sides. Thanks, Donald =============================== Donald E.
