I understand your feeling.  People here are very capable that spent a 
lot of time keeping updated, and therefore cannot understand why people 
want to resort to funny tricks to make money.

Lately I got hit twice, and pull my plugs as soon as I can.  The one 
that uses deadlines to take advantage of me was easier to handle after I 
listed down the damages that he had caused - overtime charges, rework, 
etc.  As I am still keeping my options open, he is therefore always 
living in fear now.  No, I am not trying to be cruel but just trying to 
keep him away and an option to chase him away if he try to disturb my 
future work.

Cheers, Ling SM
