Ive gotten a couple of requests from PMs recently, one of them didn't bother to check back. But the other guy was actually very cool and understanding of how a coder does his job. He also provided detailed instructions from the start, which made me able to visualise how I was going to do the job. This made actually DOING it hella easier, and I completed the work within a week and got a paypal e-cheque as soon as I delivered the work. We trust eachother, so I knew he would pay up and he knows I will fix any problems he may encounter in the future.
So I lucked out

I don't normally respond to SR's because of the reasons everyone else stated.
