Are you kidding me?
What you are referring to is "Price Fixing". That is when like-service
companies (i.e., Airlines) call each other and determine a basic set
rate instead of letting competition determine the price.
That is not what we are doing here! You are free to charge whatever
you want -- I don't care. No one is agreeing to a set-price for
set-labor PERIOD. I'll let the Congress do that in determining minimum
wage -- they seem to break every other law.
Now, if the government wants to shut me up about what I charge, then
they are free to try. But they have to figure out how to get around
the first amendment, which supports my right to free speech. That's
bigger than them.
As far as I'm concerned, the government can take a long walk off a
short pier. Besides, regardless of who they think they are, they
haven't done anything to promote business, nor do they know how. They
are just a bunch of clowns throwing our money at their ideas.
Sorry for the rant. :-)
So, the answer is "No" we are not breaking any law taking about our
experiences with clients.
Cheers,

The fact that someone is even worried that what we do here is "breaking
the law" is indicative of our giant leap as a society towards total
fascism and paranoia.
When it becomes illegal to wear cheesy t-shirts with penguins on them,
or eat cold pizza before noon...then we might have a problem here.
