My friend, I am sorry but you are not making any sense. Trying to<br>
understand what you are writing, what you seem to be saying is: "You
must<br>
be able to compete with people working for $20 a job, or else get out".<br>
That's ridiculous. You are ignoring like 10 different parameters, but
first<br>
and most important is: I don't want to compete with $20 jobs, and I don't<br>
want to get out, and I even want to oppose them... and if you don't like my<br>
position, then YOU get out.<br>

I think you are still not aware of economies which provide a lot for<br>
$20 then the one in which you are, so being on this global list if you<br>
can't compete a $20 guy then don't complain, after all a business<br>
owner thinks the best place to source its raw material and sell in<br>
markets which pay him the most dollars for the same ( this is<br>
business, this is how profits are made, to give you business 101)<br>
<br>
So if you complain that a $20 guy should not be allowed to compete you<br>
who may be $200 then look whos asking for professionalism.<br>
<br>
If you still think you want to be in asterisk business then bloody<br>
well compete!!!<br>
Unless otherwise you make something like, Asterisk yourself an build a<br>
community around and blah blah !!<br>
<br>
So moral of story compete or stop complaining. Period.<br>
