This blows my mind. I don't know which is worse. Clients so stupid and 
uncaring that they will entrust their project to someone who doesn't 
even know a standard piece of software, or "designers" with so much gall 
that they can go out and solicit jobs BEFORE they have an idea how they 
can do it. I mean how do you quote on a job if you don't know how long 
it will take?

Of course the other point is Quark is only a tool. Spending a bundle in 
the tool department of Sears does not make me a carpenter, getting quark 
does not make me a designer or layout artist or prepress operator. So 
yeah, you can learn the basics of quark in a few days. What about 
prudent use of white space? What about correct kerning? What about 
rivers? What about margin creep? What about color seps?

This is the part I love best. "I want my answer but I can't be bothered 
to come back and check your #*&^$# newsgroup. So drop the answer right 
into my lap. And bring a pizza and some beer while you're at it."

FU!
