Thank you Jane and Alan! I appreciate your advice and time very much. I do plan to move on, Alan. I just wondered if anyone had a quick-'n-dirty solution to getting my copy off his site. I couldn't agree with you more about getting on with my business! And yes, I "got" every single thing I'd wanted by taking that job - to create a complete JV package to place up on my website!

I'm not a youngster any more and my self worth and energy never wane. Somewhere along my maturity route, I learned how to put stuff like this aside in my head. But, I'd love to get even!!!

Jane, thank you for sharing your experiences with me. When I was scouting around for a client to do this with, I weighed their credibility very carefully. I knew I didn't care about getting paid - I was hoping for strong, "real" samples of my work and a testimonial about how fantastic a copywriter I am!! But I did have an Agreement, I spoke to him before I began, and we were in close touch by email for months.

I also have an Agreement for paying clients where I won't begin a job without 50% up front. I've had loads of experience with this kind of arrangement because I've done off-line collateral for years.

Anyway, I'm very happy that I have a detailed sample of my work to exhibit.

Thx so much - and I'd benefit from hearing from any others who care to comment!
