Why should they talk to you? Do you pay them a service fee?

Their customer has instructed Barrnet NOC and staff to treat me as
a consultant/employee of the customer authorized to speak for them.

I certainly see no reason why I should do this work for you.

Fair enough... Do no work for other than your customers. This isn't
Atlas Shrugged. If I need something from you I'll get one of your
customers to sign off on it, or I'm just another leech.
