Theres really some sad people, why not just tell you they're gonna waste your time?

Anyone who has a blog post like http://www.notanotherportfolio.com/2...o-little-time/ is a dodgey person to employ. I think that's another can't say no case.

People should start outsourcing if they can't say no, an extra 5/10$ and project management skills earnt.

There are very few good designers out there that follow guidelines 100%. I wish I knew a few more.

One of the things that I agree on is that proffessionalism is a key factor is the client's overall view of the product. It doesn't matter whether it's your friend, or a corporate business, if you don't convince them that you know what you're doing, then they're not going to believe you have the ability.
