Thanks, Roj! I do know that you have a lot of experience in the field and respect your input and information greatly. You have even taken some very public lumps over business decisions (as we all do) and have come back swinging - kudos there too!

I see posts all the time where people are wanting to do work or need people to do work in the area of hosting support but never see any followup on how this actually worked out for either party (or both!). I'm sure we'd see the very trends you outline, especially the "sudden resignation" or "pay increase request" scenarios.
