Richard,
Did you not read my post? Is your reading as bad as mine was yesterday and the last few days?
I said:
You only have to slow down enough to ask your client if you can research and discus this stuff with those you are asking, it is, after all, for their benefit.
You make it sound like you will be violating that by talking to someone else, and that is seldom the case ... once you've asked and been given permission. I made it a habit to get that permission, my clients always said okay, because they know that the more I knew and could find out for their purchase, the better off they were.
To me, it only makes sense to have a little line on your contract with a check box asking for that permission, they check it off and sign it.
I really do not see the problem.
Once you have their permission, er, um, YOU HAVE THEIR PERMISSION.
