+1 Which is exactly why the last time I needed a programmer, I hired him on this list or -users. The fact is, there is a good chance of getting burned on those for hire sites, even if 80% of the people on them are who and what they say they are. I had a $5,000 bad experience with a designer. As we needed to talk and I happened to be visiting her city, we set up appointments and she didn't show up or call, claiming she "was in a meeting". It was too late to fix, so I took what we had done and ended it. I don't think I'll hire anyone again without a better context. Seeing them on a mailing list is a pretty good way to get to know people. I have a systems admin I pay (hello G) solely on the basis of his remarks on a spam fighting list. Steve, I feel like I know you better than my neighbor! :) /r _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
