Sorry for bothering the rest of you. I hope you wouldn't really
mind if
some of our colleagues who are doing such a lovely volunteer work
here
get to earn some money for a bottle of beer and more. Rest assured
that
it is no fraud/ scam/ cheating. I am very much here to take the
brickbats.
Thanks.

Imo, it is both off-topic and inappropriate.
Moreover, I have not seen your name in any of the topics on this
list or remembered it in any reply, as opposed to many others who
take time from their busy schedules to give something back, free of
charge. This does not inspire much confidence in your qualities or
determination.
There are many channels out there that would be beneficial to your
goals, e.g. wendo, ogone and the likes.
Please take your commercial goals there.
Have I read the mail wrong, or is he asking if anyone out here
*provides* paid for help? e.g. he is saying, I need someone to
provide me with support and I'm willing to pay for it.
To me this is not a commercial but a call for help.
Or have I read this wrong?
Seems to me like a job ad which we generally tolerate, but a couple of
thing concern me about this one...
1) "Rest assured that it is no fraud/ scam/ cheating."
This is something only fraudsters, scammers and cheater would feel the
need to say up front.
Some generalization.
2) There is absolutely no mention of what company he represents or
what type of work they do.
I don't represent anyone.
Why should I?
Are only representatives of companies allowed to post messages in this
ng seeking paid help?
Anyone legitimately looking for talent (ie. who is not gonna screw
people over) is more likely to provide more details about who they
are.
Will be provided to those who contact, in email conversations.
Seems you are interested in knowing what it is.
Something like "we are an outsourcing company looking for top
quality talent for occasional sub-contracting" would be better, and
including a link to their website would be even better.
That was not provided because I am not an outsourcing company. No
website link. Simple.
Add the gmail
address and I'd avoid this like the plague.
Now where's my 0.98 change from that dollar?

All should concede that our fellow php veterans in this ng would be
intelligent enough not to fall for tricks.
