I was not attacking you either, nor anyone else in this thread. I have stated several times now that people can opt to run their business how they see fit. That goes for both sides.

If a client wants something done, and will pay upon completion. You either accept the bid or you do not. Trying to rationalize it to someone who opts to run their business that way will get you no-where.

Just as if you tell a client it's a 50/50 deal for you and your business, and they say no. Then spend endless thread posts, or hours, trying to convince you that you are wrong and should let them pay how they want to.

No business will get done as either will not budge.

That said, people can run their business however they see fit and typically have a lot of good reasons and experience for doing it the way they are. However, the designer asking for a 50/50 or 100% down is not any type of "standard" that is accepted by the industry on the whole. Not in adult, mainstream or real world.

That was really the point.
