Re: Skill Exchange? Designer for Programmer

I apologize . . . I just realized what I have done, in posting a message here that is not in it's proper location. I sincerely apologize to everyone for posting this message in this section. It really was not very classy of me. I just haven't been on a newsgroup in a while and forgot the all so important ettiquete of placing a post only in areas of relavance. Obviously, this is not the Employment Department. I was just trying to find good PHP talent to help, but this isn't the place to start. So, pardon me while I hang my head in shame. If you know about a newsgroup I can post to, please let me know.
