OT: Going rate for LAMP jobs

[Geoff Shang]

Hello,

I'd like to thank everyone's input on this subject.  It has been most 
educational.

The situation was that I was being approached by someone who knew me and 
knew my work, so was presumably approaching me directly on purpose.  The 
reason why I asked is because I guessed that he had some kind of figure in 
mind, and wanted to know if it was in any way reasonable.

In the end, he was only prepared to offer me $17.50/hour, which thanks to 
your posts, I knew was an unreasonable offer.  So I turned it down.

Cheers,
Geoff.
