I have seen a lot of posts like this, and I got to say that it does my heart well when I read that people want to interact on a friendly basis rather than the other options.
But it also makes me chuckle a little. I hope what I say is taken in the spirit of how I mean it, and not offensive to anyone, if it is let me know and I'll delete it.
In places where tribes still exist, specially when they existed as nomadic people. When they come into contact with each other for the first time, they often observe each other to see how they behave, if they are overly aggressive or friendly, what they were after and if it was a threat to their existence, etc.
When scrappers see each other driving down the street or looking for scrap in the same area, it seems they behave in a similar way, observing, identifying, checking for friendly or aggressive behavior then making contact.
I think refiners, matter of fact any business owner would act in a similar way. I recently checked out a location that collects for a refiner who is out of state to see what it was like, and how they might affect my own business, if they were friendly, or maybe if I could do business with them refining harder to refine material, etc.
Anyway, just thought I would comment as I think this often
