There is not a "Hate" for Joe Guru (or Joe the Plumber either), but there is comfort in having a reputable company work on your servers as opposed to a guru whose reputation is unknown. If the reputation of the company was unknown it would not be a good candidate either. If it is the job of the company to consult they will more likely make time for you in your time of need than an individual who has to schedule you in amid their primary job. Plus, if you have a company help you and guru X from said company gets sick, his house burns down, or his wife has a baby, guru Y could help you out. If it just Joe Guru, and that happens to him, you are handicapped.
I have contacted Guru Labs and Knowledgeblue (two "stuffy certified support [companies]" (ok maybe not stuffy)). I don't hear any other companies being named that still exist (sorry Doran). If you do think of another company let me know. Thanks, Daniel On Tue, Nov 25, 2008 at 12:05 PM, Doran L.
