While nobody is bothering me or others who are busy by calling to inquire about doing business, what sense does it make wasting YOUR time and MY time if we cannot even do the job? I'm not going to spend hours for something I cannot do. That way I CAN spend more time on the paying clients job. A job in motion gets the attention.

If not there is no reason to go any further. I will however try my best to point them in the right direction or refer them to someone I would trust to do them a good job. Even though I won't be doing their project I have their interest at heart.
