Dear xxx, and to the rest of the providers, who require payment up front, I say two things… One, have the guts to put that information in your profile. I guarantee that it will generate an honest discussion regarding your talents and the client’s expectations. Second, to those (xxx,) who wait until the client is disrobed to request payment, I say (metaphorically speaking,) “eat shit and die.” And finally, to those who get a bee in their bonnet for me having voiced this opinion, spare me some tragic story about how you’ve been burned.
