Intuit tries to call Mint's bluff? Is this normal?

Why would Mint even respond to a letter like that? I could understand if, say, it were a reporter asking, but what right does a competitor have to demand such figures? Let alone so rudely.

Though I suppose if the competition is determined to make themselves look like assholes, furnishing a polite reply and then leaking the whole thing isn't a bad way to help them out.

Hmm, I suppose if someone wanted to be truly a dick to quicken, they could have the publicly available figures printed onto a large billboard (the ones that go on the back of trucks) and park it in front of intuit's HQ.

That's one way to present the info :)

That's funny, but it would be a big mistake. If they start acting arrogantly themselves, people will say "they're no better" and they'll lose the advantage of the contrast. The last thing to do when experiencing success is flaunt it and act entitled.
