I definatly agree that we should have an area with reputable names here, and what duties they are willing to perform etc.
While many people like to pretend some things don't occur, I have first hand knowledge that several people in the business of hacking and/or designing can disappear for quite lengthy amounts of time, with flimsy or NO excuses whatsoever.. I have many logs and e-mails with such people going through personal problems that take on jobs when they have no business doing so. What a novel I could write.
So I think we need some reputable lists of people that are well known for getting the jobs done, in reasonable amounts of time etc.
