Here's the post

I am looking for a brilliant yet reasonably priced webdesigner to help get my site up and running. I have a domain so I just need a template that I can easily update daily and often.
Please include a general pricing structure in your response as well as links to sample sites. Flash designers prefered.

This could be done but what does a flash designer know about a WordPress or CMS website. Who is going to teach this person how to update daily & often .... pass!

Yeah, Chears to you too!

Wanted: Student for BLOG Management

2008-11-20T20:40:00.001-08:00

The original post

We require a POST-SECONDARY student with Joomla and Drupal experience:
Overview: A mid-to-high level of experience is required for this short-term project. This will be project-based. Potential to get additional projects in future.
Scope: We have a few ongoing projects dealing with Joomla and Drupal BLOG management and upkeep. You will be tasked with devloping these systems for clients. A great opportunity to earn money and gain experience!

the response

You say in the posting title that you are looking for a "student", yet in the description you say "A mid-to-high level of experience is required for this short-term project"
It's quite obvious that "student" is code for very low pay, so why not just say so. And stop wasting your and everyone else's time by posting jobs looking for mid-to-high levels of experience but hoping to pay student wages.
If life were like that we wouldn't need Visa.

Two weeks? What does you design look like? Two weeks may be a little tight if you are the demanding type
Only people serious about working hard apply - haha, I really liked this one, who already does not work hard in this industry having to put up with you type.
This website will be like no other.
Oooo really?!?! How many times have we heard that before.
Translation: I will pay you cheap, because you will be part of some very time consuming and you'll have to put up with me, remember you'll have to work hard!

This blog is dedicated to job seekers and job posters to review and funny, outrageous and utterly dumb ads people place on popular websites like Craigslist.

For some, it may be insulting, for others it may be really funny, but every now and then, they are worth reviewing to see how 'out to lunch' some people really are!

Wake up posters, we are watching!
