My "pet peeve" is contractors who are only available by cellular phone. This indicates the following to me: 1. They have a upwardly lifestyle that they think I should pay for. There is not many businesses I can think of that get away with this, and they tend to be in highly specialised areas with a shortage of skilled people. While web development can be skilled, there is no shortage. 2. They don't take their business seriously... This manifests in many ways. <selfpromo> If someone needs a Systems Administrator who understands commercial sensibilities as well as the technical ones, give me a call. </selfpromo> Michael --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to nzphpug@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe, send email to nzphpug+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
