perception trumps reality when casting aspersions,
those that seek to defame can always find, or create, a red herring
testing for a fee is something I have a bunch of experience at doing,
not a viable economic model unless one really wants to work for $5/hr (at best)
- this is the difficulty, what is enjoyable as a hobby is much less so when there is an obligation to fulfill;
and resentment follows quickly at $5/hr
-> if one tests for a fee, it should be realistic
here is an example:
were pHaestus to test wbs at $50 ea., I/Swiftech could (and WOULD !) provide him ~50/mo (I have 4+ projects going right now),
and the peeps say "jeez, look at that; 1st order is $2500";
the catch is that even working 20hrs/day, 50 wbs could not be finished in a month
(the absolute bargan for Swiftech is getting a super-tech with analytical capabilities for a few bucks/hr, and believe me pHaestus would soon resent my pilfering his time - LOL)
now the process can be semi-automated, but that is yet more money and really only affects the data acquisition; machine time is the same
let's return to the $
so pHaestus:
are you accepting donations yet ?
