Correct, but if you're doing a freelance job, selling yourself as being knowledgeable, the client expects *you* to be doing the work.... not to pawn it off on the cheapest subcontractor you can find. That's the only point I was directing at you. >> Remember, this is all in public archives, so everything you say >> CAN and WILL be used against you by a future employer or client with >> enough knowledge to research your background on the 'Net.

Not that they'll hold it against you, per se, but refer to my paragraph above (from this message, not the quote). >> Last week I turned down a pretty good graphic artist for a gig >> because of his use of racial slurs and QWERTYmuscles[TM] (you heard >> the term here first! ;-P).

It was an anecdote as it applied to the point: employers and clients search the Internet and can find things you (or anyone) have said at any point. So let this message clarify that --- it was meant to indicate that I, as a prospective employer, turned an employee down based on his recent history on the Internet.
