I have co-signed every check since 2005. Keith has given me a verbal on
the balance from time to
time, but I haven't seen a written or historical accounting in a while.
I trust Keith doesn't want to
do something dumb like bounce a check, and you can ask him about how
skeptical and severe
I am when it comes to COUNTER-signing. After all, most of this money
originated from my employer.
By the way, do you have receipts for reimbursement of FOSDEM costs?
