Patrick,

Yeah, it drifted. I think now that we have all capped our pens and
withdrawn from the field :-)

And in that statement...you are completely mistaken.

We do NOT charge squat for the help/advise that we provide. Unlike
many who refuse to take support email through their personal
email...I
do that all day long and have no problem with it. I happily help MANY
people with free advice, critiques of their work and often times
provide free help to those who even offer to pay...because it's not
right to charge one person for something I freely give to others. So
you might want to get your facts straight.

Yes, if someone comes to me asking me to build them a project...THEN
I point them toward my consulting services...which is an entirely
different matter. But also in that case, they do get free info about
what it will take and what the cost would be to go that route...as
well as info links to learn on their own and the time/cost
differences
from doing it themselves versus having me do it for them.
