Let me see.... How do you spell "anti-trust lawsuit"? This gets to
me, I'm sorry, Yvonne, for leaping at you like this, but you are
supposed to come into freelancing wanting to compete. Please don't
ask me for the keys to my office so you can riffle through my files
and see how much I charge. Get out there and compete.

Now here's some emoticons to soften it up a little bit. I know your
heart is in the right place and you are just curious. And just
maybe someone else on the list will actually provide you with
some information that will work against fair competition in this
business. You never can tell.... :-) :-) :-)
Dave.
