Hmm, I'm not sure what you guys are trying to prove, but I will give you a little insight, free of charge.
First, I was merely doing a favor to the AT community by asking for submissions to see if I liked what I saw. I hadn't (from the submissions I had received) liked anything that I saw. That is why I hadn't contacted anyone about their posts.
Second, obviously you people don't do much business with others because in this case I am the employer and I don't have to do anything. If I don't want to ask you one question I can, because I am the one paying you. There are plenty of other places (that I will go to now that I have gotten this from the AT board) I can find the same, if not better caliber person who is not going to act childish like I've seen in this post.
Mikey....I don't have to tell you a thing about what I'm doing. I'm doing you the favor, not the opposite. That is a rule that quite a few here need to understand. I can (and will) give my money to others since you people are such babies about this. Also, you never inquired about what I was wanting do so why do you even care to post? Just my $0.02.
ThePresence: I'm sorry I didn't like what I saw, please don't take that as a putdown because it isn't. What I saw isn't what I thought would work with my idea, that is all. I figure better to just not say anything then to PM/email you and say, "Sorry I didn't like what you have to offer." Maybe I was wrong on that call, but I don't think so.
As for stealing/jacking ideas? I asked for a portfolio, not your personal ideas. If any of you had questions you should have asked me instead of attacked me. I wanted to see what you're capable of doing in flash, not how you plan to dominate the earth.
I have given AT work previously and been very pleased, but this...........

Nevermind, I just got a call that my friends are getting a divorce, I am through with this post...
