Maybe the problem is you haven't met anyone on the other side. I just
did a gig with a large consulting company and you would fall off your
chair if you know what they were paid for a one page (but very
interactive) site. You have to ask yourself why they are getting it
and you are not.
And saying I "look to

I didn't mean it as an insult, so if it came across that way, I
apologize. But, you can't stand there and say that you are not making
what you are worth. If you agreed to the price, then that's what it
is worth. Prices rise for a reason: expenses, inflation. Why aren't
your fees rising? Because of others in the market? Then how come
they can work for less? I don't think it is jawflap - you really need
to ask these questions. If your fees can't rise, what can you do to
earn more?
But, I do agree that this conversation has gone on a bit too long.
I'll stop now.
Tom
