How bouts this? I'll trust you.
You can pay me ex-post facto - fixed rate, instead of hourly - after you get
the code you need.
Put together a spec, put a dollar (or pound - I do both) value on it and a
deadline and send it to me at bucky@kaufman.net .

I'll let you know right away if I will accept it and make the
work-in-progress available to you.
That way - you'll know if it strays off schedule or off-spec - BEFORE it's
too late.

If we go through the whole process, only to find that what I thought was
good code, you thought was bad - no problem.
I understand that sometimes there's just a disconnect - especially with
strangers - so I'll just chalk it up to that and be done with it.
(I'll allow my self to get screwed by anyone... once.)

I pay my IPP (APlus.net) high-dollar, and in return I get some damned good
24x7 tech support.
Furthermore, they feature Joomla as one of the packages they specifically
support.
Between that and all the Joomla chatter here - the universe wants me to do
this. :)
