<DIV>It appears to me after reading the particular request and the subsequent
statements that I can see the original person's shock and displeasure with the
community. He placed an ad for a person who would score the film for
free. He did not ask for advice or demand a particular person in the
community to do it for fee. I read it and since I do not score, I did not
respond. However, many people did respond and it was quite a negative
reaction. People, this person was asking for a person who would be willing
to do it for free. He did not ask you to do it for free. Some of the
comments were rather interesting and I could see why he wrote the statement
about "togetherness". I have read several requests on the site over the
years where someone is asking for a freebie. I have sent those requests to
some of the actors and actresses who are looking for an opportunity to get their
foot in the door. I do not see what the problem is. He was up front
about it. If no one responds to the request, then he learns. To
voice an opinion that borders on ridicule, maybe you should read the request
again. It would be entirely different if he offered sums of money and
refused to pay after you had worked hard on the score. </DIV>

<DIV>Good luck to the young man for trying something that may not work.
However, it is not grounds for such negativity and ridicule.
