Re: FLASH: (OT)Freelance Designer needed

[Dickinson (Marcus)]

I think you have made your credibility (or lack thereof) know on this list.

Please do us all a favour and do not post any more FREE tutorials. I know

and freely admit and give credit to you for your tutorial that I used to

make the globe in question, from scratch. You insist that it is yours. This

debate is pointless and I withdraw. I will not consider working for your

copmany, and would recommend the same of everyone here.
