If you provide "paid" help in code development/ testing/ troubleshooting related to php or other software areas, please feel free to drop a line to me at my id mentioned below. Please don't write here as some other members might find this off topic. Sorry for bothering the rest of you. I hope you wouldn't really mind if some of our colleagues who are doing such a lovely volunteer work here get to earn some money for a bottle of beer and more. Rest assured that it is no fraud/ scam/ cheating. I am very much here to take the brickbats. Thanks. -- V vsrawat at gmail dot com

Imo, it is both off-topic and inappropriate. Moreover, I have not seen your name in any of the topics on this list or remembered it in any reply, as opposed to many others who take time from their busy schedules to give something back, free of charge. This does not inspire much confidence in your qualities or determination. There are many channels out there that would be beneficial to your goals, e.g. wendo, ogone and the likes. Please take your commercial goals there.

Have I read the mail wrong, or is he asking if anyone out here *provides* paid for help? e.g. he is saying, I need someone to provide me with support and I'm willing to pay for it. To me this is not a commercial but a call for help. Or have I read this wrong? Col
