I don't recall the exact conversation because I don't read everything that comes through this list. Having said that I think it is a shame you don't think you can discuss issues are having. My general feeling is everyone gets into tough situations with clients and need advice from time to time. Not because you are trying to bad mouth them, but you are looking for solutions to help an bad situation. That seems acceptable to me if you don't refer to them by name or give details in which they could be found out.<br>

<div id=":a" class="ii gt">Since then, I've refrained from discussing anything client-related or business-related in this group. However, I wouldn't mind seeing a mailing list created with controlled access for developers - ie, you must have an email address from a development shop or something. I do feel that we can learn a lot from each other, especially small business shops. Best business practices, tips for dealing with problem clients etc. etc. which may not be appropriate to discuss in front of clients directly.</div>
