can't even understand someone goes to work on a handshake deal with strangers. Have problems doing this even with friends. Once money is involved even friends can act strange...
- arethuza 11y agoMind you - at the other extreme I've had someone invest £25K in a startup based on a handshake who turned out to be utterly brilliant and a complete gent. He only looked slightly sour when he saw we'd stuck a copy of his cheque up on the wall.... :-) Of course, people like that are rare - but they do exist.
- SmellyGeekBoy 11y agoI know a couple of guys like this as well. While it's true that one can go far in business by treading on people and screwing people over, being decent human beings certainly doesn't seem to have held them back in life, at least.

- SmellyGeekBoy 11y agoOh, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't recommend anyone go into a business arrangement - even with the seemingly nice guys - without proper safeguards (ie contracts) in place!
