Donna,   I'll stand by my statement,   anyone who would
take on work under the conditions of 
" knowing full well, I might encounter the same
 payment problems."   and NOT DEMANDING
up front payment because
  "he did not have the money to pay upfront"
is as I stated earlier, a dummy.  That is not said
to be rude to anyone, but to try to make you
wake up to the fact that you are a business and
must begin to view the world as such.  Why would
you desire to put yourself thru the same poblems
you had earlier????????
