I'm all for it, perhaps because I'm the only working programmer within a 60 mile radius and have only met two of my clients in all the years I've been doing this. If I talk around here about what I do, eyes glaze over and then I am asked to go to someone's house to fix a computer. So I don't talk about what I do, and just let the neighbors suppose that I'm a slug living off of his wife's income. :D

One of the two clients I've met paid me half of my customary rate for a day out on an all expenses paid, professionally guided steelhead fishing trip. Darn good client, that one.

I wholeheartedly agree that it would be inappropriate to allow help/work wanted articles here.
