You may not want to read this David, but in case others want to know. Things that push my button;
- Asking for money to do something which is available for free. - Asking for money and not being up front about who you are. - Asking for money and then letting people know it's a side-job that may not be your priority as it may risk your day job. - Asking for money and they lying about your credentials (e.g. saying "I have been in software development for decades" when your 31, this would mean you started working as a coder when you were 11?). oh, and finally; - Making personal statements about someone without doing any research (e.g. "you have clearly never been an entrepreneur" to someone whose website says on it's first page they started a successful business two years ago that is still growing).
