hahaha.... Now you're posting definitions. How learned um... 'pedant' of you 
Hamish. :-)

After reading Berend's comments, I will also invert the original statement-

If a web developer (or any professional for that matter) always supplies 
services and products, that are integral to their client's business, and 
their client makes money from it, the web developer (or any professional) 
will almost always be paid as a #1 priority.

The sad reality IMHO is that few websites make money. Outside of Trade me most 
NZers prefer to buy their stuff at a bricks and mortar stopfront.

Now if anyone is in an industry where over 90% of their clients aren't making 
money from the service that they are supplying, is it any wonder when the 
economy hits realignment time, they are a low priority?

I am not questioning the moral right of the developer to be paid for work 
properly done, just questioning whether it's astute for them to do it in the 
first place?

That's all.
