It's a *syndrome* - a lifetime spent in 'audio' seems to turn a certain

It's quite common when pros have to deal with untalented amateurs in any
field. Especially those who try and re-invent the wheel.

Unfortunately, I've got a few who not only want me to re-invent the wheel,
but they want me to do all of their dirty work, and according their
botched-up plan. If they'd pay time and materials at a reasonable rate it
would be merely a waste of my time and their money. But, they keep shouting
at me and beating me about the head and shoulders, saying that I'm
uncharitable because I want to be paid or do it my way. They don't want to
take a little time off from their high-paying jobs to help, either.
