Like other comments before it, this response tells me that you are not getting what I'm saying. Building a rapport has NOTHING to do with being friends, or being "chummy" as you once put it. You're simply figuring out a way to work with one another, so if a question or concern comes up you can take care of them without any misunderstandings or ill feelings, which could affect other things down the road.

I don't know another way to go, either. So I guess this is where our conversation ends.
