I have a gut feeling that something is cooking at Getty level. iStock management cannot respond because things are beyond their control.

Could be. I am just finding all the incompetence, arrogance and general lack of concern or care a little too over the top. It literally looks like someone has purposefully sabotaged the whole enchilada. Which would be really sad if true.

LOL, good point!

We keep getting this confirmation that every post was read and messages were forwarded. It makes me feel that the ones who make the decision were not in Calgary.
