I was wondering why I've found only a few contracts lately, everyone in my
field is willing to 'work for food' Hmph There I go again thinking people
get paid to do web work. Seriously though If I had to make a guess I'd say
whomever it is who usually would take care of web things doesn't do that
work anymore, hasn't thought about it in a really long time, or a
combination of both. Sometimes when a employee leaves a company they take
with them the knowledge of how to access the companies webserver which is
more often than not 'out of house'
