RE: perspective on rates

[Nancy Allison <maker -at- verizon -dot- net>]

  Kevin's made some very good observations. I agree -- I posted my rates 
as a contractor, because I didn't have to specify any companty names. 
You have to dig a bit to post as a self-employed contractor-- the model 
is centered around full-time jobs with benefits. I would have found it 
hard to post if I had a full-time job at a companythat I would have had 
to name.

In fact, for that very reason, I didn't submit a review. All my clients 
have been small companies, and it would be immediately obvious who had 
written the review. Even if I had only good things to say, which is true 
of several of my clients, I would still feel too exposed.
