Michele,
I'm originally from Iowa, and that sounds about right. Some people need
*more*. And here, they ask for it. Some kind of misplaced idea of
'community' perhaps.
I agree it is a good idea to let the recruiter know the account rep ruined
his chance at a commission from your work. But I'd not take her rudeness
personally--my guess is the AR is new to the business and will not be in
it very long.
