No. You have not.

Remember that you jumped in on an ongoing thread. The thread was related to 
the attitude held by Grant and others on the list.

Do not hesitate to solicit other programmers to fix the problem. Your 
goal/responsibility is to get the program to market - not babysit a 
programmer (Russian or US).

I guess I was not clear. In short, a programmer needs to justify his cost. If 
he costs 3 times more, he should be able to illustrate why.

I am not saying that at all. My position is simply: 
"Justify your cost or don't pee on the companies' parade offshore."

>All for what? A Stock Ticker? Hehe... Dream on...
Actually, you make a joke about the most exciting project I got goin'. It is 
not a stock ticker, but the front end to a program that knows when to buy and 
sell stocks.

No. I buy brand names a lot too. Every component of every computer. I spent 
hours researching what to buy. My Yamaha P-80 was the best keyboard on the 
market (per my specs) at the time. Spent hours researching that too. The 
point/equation is to fundamentally "justify the cost."
