Well like I said. Your request was very vague and could have been read
many different ways.

Hire someone... lol. Sorry mate, but I think you're forgetting this is
volunteer work. And if you think you can push your weight around with
people who are clearly trying to help out, you have another think
coming.
Like I said, I am offering my services for free. If it's not wanted,
speak up because I have enough paid work to keep me busy.

If you're not happy with the current mockups Scott and myself have
proposed, how about you throw some input in yourself on your own ideas.
I am yet to hear your thoughts!...

Regards
