[asterisk-biz] I need your skiils, but I can't hire you

[Mark Phillips]

Steve,

I suggest you look harder for qualified techs. Of the five or so jobs 
I've seen come into my mailbox from your system generally only one of 
the replies comes from someone one might consider qualified. The rest 
are from young opportunists tring to make a fast buck.

This will get your excellent idea a bad name. It has already disuaded me 
from posting my services in response to advertisments.

Someone once told me that if the words "reliable", "cheap" and "quality" 
were aranged in a triangle you would only be able to pick two of the 
three. He's right!
