<html> <body> Well, Matthew, you can build your business any way you like. I choose not to discount. I think I'm worth more than that. I've never had a problem and I think I'm respected for sticking to my guns when people do ask. They haven't gone elsewhere to my knowledge so why give away what you don't have to? Might be different if I considered myself less than worthy or this was some kind of hobby but it is not. I have mouths to feed and bills to pay just like everyone else.
