You stared your post almost as i think, but then degraded to
Unionistic's/Communistic (to my mind:) views. I think - only the end
product costs something (not a labor by itself) - therefore cost would
better be estimated for the whole needed to be done project (based on
market price). And you decide - whether you fit required deadlines, and
whither your performance is enough to support yourself on every concrete
project. At least this seem to be right for freelances.. I know, trade
unions will flame me for that:) But then again what are they have being
doing all the time (and not always _genital_:)
