Subject: Re: O/T : Looking for an entry level LAMP developer for contract work.

Hi everyone,

I appreciate all the feedback and those who replied.

Our direction has changed and I no longer need the amount of help I was
looking for, so I have decided not to bring someone in for now.

Sometimes things change in ways that are unforeseen. This is one of
those times.

Thanks!!

Keith
