when someone asks for advice about how to do something in MT, we KNOW that we can pay someone to do it for us. We come to the forum to ask for help to do it outselves and the forums have been totally wonderful in giving that advice. Many of the people who give that advice also have paid services, but they seldom mention them. They give an incredible amount of help just for free. So, stop with the solicitation for paid services in the forums, its not what they are all about.

Amen!

Speaking as a private citizen, I couldn't have said this better myself. Speaking as a moderator, I encourage designers and others interested in building a portfolio to take a look at BlogBarter - it's a nice little experiment that seems to be going well.
