Approaching a distributor- tips? Suggestions? "Do not&q

[daMoose_Neo]

Okay, I know I said before I was really against a distributor, but after a little bit of looking, it might fly.
What I was wondering was what would be the best way to approach a distributor? And also, are the larger distributors (I know Alliance is one of the major ones) less friendly to indie publishers? If so, can anyone recommend a distributor to go through? Aside from basic business ettiqute, are there any dos/don'ts I should be aware of?

Any and all help recommended ^_^
