All that being said, It's tough (or just annoying) to do anything about it. In all honesty, I'm usually very open with how I work and what I'm doing. And, I've been lucky to have been shown valuable lessons from some of my favorite engineers, but people shouldn't have the freakin' balls to openly insult and devalue your experience and hard work.

Print your tracks. Deliver just the stereo files when you can. Or even consolidate regions and send a session with just those files. Just as if you're sending reels of tape. Most experienced engineers are going to actually want things this way so they don't have to waste time stripping away your mix when they get it.
