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. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
