Thanks, but I don't need lecturing. The last term question I answered was a year ago. I don't even know why I'm even still registered on a site that merely serves industry and subsidises the bottom feeders. A pity there's no such site for real pros (not ProZ). I shall duck down again for another year. And remeber, every paying member subsides the people you are criticising and makes it possible for them to continue.
