Ryan, I'm 100% with you!!
May be we should start a new association called A.B. (Anonymous Bananas) and
put pressure on these Partners that want to get the their EDI saving plus
the one from their Trading Partners...
In fact, in these situations, I think that "Partners" should be replace by
something else...
