Although they seem more expensive initially, their flexibility and productivity more than makes up for that.

But man, you must have been pretty P.O'd to write this much ;-) I agree with you, the screening process for ANY postion (developer/designer/mascot) needs to be such that it filters out people who can't do(or do right) for the project/company. A lot of companys actually require a "test" be performed that can prove competancy...which, in my opinion is a good idea, so long as the guy writing the test knows what he is doing. -j Don, how do I know your not an overpriced amatuer pretending to know what he is talking about trying to make a name for himself so he can get a good in-house job while sipping margaritas by the pool in a speedo kinda guy?…
