Just calling them as I see them. Think of it this way...if there
weren't so many hacks and unqualifieds in this business, those who
know what they are doing wouldn't be competing with everyone who owns
a copy of Word willing to take gigs at $17.00 per hour. Maybe someone
who hires will look at that and use it as a qualification for hiring a
writng professional.
