Yes, apologies. I mean there is always some job to be done. I ll post again
about this when existing consultants cant fulfil some of the  assignments
for some reason..

I am glad you think so. I have asked the polite people who have made
themselves available to
supply veryfiable credentials, and  a scanned copy of their ID (of course
that could be faked too, but I dont think that anyone is that malicious).
Some had not problem straight away, these are the people who have the keys
to the site.  One or two guys were reticent, one explicitly said he wanted
to work anonymously. Nay. I dont see that as an option. Development can wait
til we find someone we are confortable with.

cheers
