I tried to reason this very point with him - I offered him a list of 
numbers to call and see if anyone would say I had ever failed them or 
broke fidutiality (well, some may say I have failed them ... to be honest).

Based on the overall response from everyone here, it seems that I am not 
alone on the way I feel about this.  Knowing that almost everyone on 
this list is a contractor, or has been, I could not think of a better 
place to post the question.

The only NDA and NCA I did not sign, prior to this one, was one put 
infront of me as I was walking out the door after having resigned my 
position as a Sr. Developer for a small company in Palm Beach, FL - Who 
asks a person to sign such thing after they quit?  Worst yet, I wrote 
their entire Accounting System from scrath, on my own without any 
assistance from any other staff member ... Looking back, I should have 
gone after their business but I didn't, because that is the kind of 
person I am, I loose sleep over a glitch in my code or a pending 
something I need to come up with; not over having done something wrong 
to a person, animal or company.
