Hey, if no name-calling, why are you calling everyone a prostitute!!   :)

Speaking of ... I assume if you offered a prostitute $5 for a service that
typically costs $100, she would understandably be insulted and tell you to
go do it to yourself rather than to her.

(And I think anyone will get far lecturing her on how that's a lot of money
to vietnamese prostitutes or those just getting into the business)

I have to defend Kelly, as she was well within bounds of understandable
behavior to be offended by an offer of $1000 for what reasonable would be at
least $10,000 worth of work.

I think Kelly just put into words to what a lot of us felt.

And the person who posted the job deserved to hear what a lot of people
honestly felt about his/her offer.

I think if someone insults you, it's far better to speak honestly about how
insulted you are and why than it is to pretend you are not insulted -- even
if your forwardness makes some people uncomfortable.  (I suppose not a lot
of people are at east with that "Gotham" style of directness.)
