Good agreements are win-win propositions for the parties. So no, it doesn't balance out.

True that. I think it was for a phone that I couldn't use in Europe after all. :rofl:

Sure. You'll be the imaginary friend of an imaginary boy, which makes you twice removed from reality. Totally a happy place because of it.

Or it was planned to go down that way. Doesn't seem to prove anything one way or another.
