well, you could probably save them a lot of money if they're plannning to develop a domain with a bunch of words, clever misspells, a bad theme or a bunch of hyphens. i guess this is why people accuse me of brutal honesty - instead of letting the webmaster lose money on something i can see won't work, i tell them.

because what could be a nicer thing to do for someone than save them thousands of dollars?

but if it's not a friend and the person didn't ask for advice, then if they basically don't want to to get it, i move on.
