The only way I'd walk away is if they want me to do something illegal or something that violates my conscience. I have no problem doing something stupid at the client's insistence as long as I've made the client aware (tactfully) of my position. I've been paid to do many stupid things. I am also quite capable of doing stupid things entirely on my own! carlos carlos == Maintainer of the procrastinator's FAQ.

The only way I'd walk away is if they want me to do something illegal or something that violates my conscience. I have no problem doing something stupid at the client's insistence as long as I've made the client aware (tactfully) of my position. I've been paid to do many stupid things. I am also quite capable of doing stupid things entirely on my own! My old shpeil when asked to do something stupid against advice: You are paying me to give you advice, know that you are doing so because I have some knowledge and expertise to bring to the problem. However, you are free to accept my advice or reject it. If you accept your advice and things do not work out, know that I will work to make it right. If you reject my advice and things do not work out, then beyond hiring me at double my usual rates to make it right I don't want to hear about it. Oh and I don't gloat, I just grin alot. ;-) Art S.
