The first sentence:
³ I am a contract web programmer and have done work for many web
design companies and ad agencies²
...should be translated to:
³ I am an agent for an off-shore sweatshop of underpaid and impover-
ished webmonkeys who do work for fly-by-nite straight-to-OTCBB
e-commerce ventures.²
