[i]I have been BADLY burned by allegedly "legitimate" companies (and technical people...) Because - after all - I am only a "pornographer" and I guess... due to the content, I had it coming.[/B]
Ah yes, I forgot about that aspect of things. I had a freelance customer a couple of months back that I spent a lot of time with. It was around the time that I joining MANcheck, so I was talking about getting this really good contract.

He and I talked on and off all day, then he finally asked me point blank, "Well, what does this company do?"

I could have lied, but I figured he was cool.

"Is it legal?" he asked.

A couple of weeks later, he called with some stuff to finish up his site and told me that when the site was done, he had another client for me, but he said, "But you have to promise me that you'll never tell me wife and this person what you really do."

Oh brother.
