I've decided that as a freelance developer, I tend to migrate towards the ignorant and fickle clientel. I had one client trying to get a 6-7 page website up. The guy had no day-job, he was merely living off of a good real-estate deal that his father made (he is a 40yr old man... it was kinda pathetic). It took the better part of a year for me to drag enough information out of him to create a site template (he was always changing his mind, and how he wanted things). I presume he was also gay (or had extremely bad business conduct), because it appeared as though he hit on me. Anyways, he finally decided to go with some other poor young guy (after a while, i steered clear of personal conversation, and tried to stick to business, which he apparently didnt like). He owed me some money still (deciding to cut his losses), which interprets into me having one less moron to deal with.... screw the money. Besides, many of the changes he had me implement into the basic template were things that went against good web design (and therefore reflective of me).
