Fair enough.

Just so I'm clear, though, I wasn't so much thinking about hacks for sale, per se. That's been offered here before and probably doesn't merit a section of it's own. Better for it to grow organically out of the discussion, like the Karma/Overgrow thread (apology for the extended pun).

I was thinking more along the lines of people who might offer installs, customizations, site administration, even vb-friendly hosting. Things of a service nature that can't be exchanged by the written word (or are impractical to distribute that way). Most people here seem to be get-your-hands-dirty coders who do these things themselves, but there must be many - myself often included - who find their way here looking for support and who would prefer to pay someone else to get under the hood.

Still, I understand your point. Any effort to fend of the beast of commercialization has my support.
