Russell, obviously you haven't been looking hard enough for customers :)

I bet a lot of housepainting contractors have been asked to paint a
house for free!

One of the reasons I ranked on this yahoo's chain so hard as I've
heard many, many stories from photographers about this problem. I've
never been so naive to think that photographers are the only creative
people who've had their efforts devalued clear to $0 by folks who
insist they just love their work.

Oh, actually, I've heard this from a couple of musicians I've known
over the years, too.
