unfortunately everyone does not have the same work ethic or idea of "time" but this does not make them a bad client...

rather then cut a client I push them back... further down the priority list and I let them know... sometimes we can work something out further down the road which is ideal because a) you already started the project and b) the client is already "won"

I try my best not to cut off my nose to spite my face... though if the client is a jerk then I discontinue the project swiftly...
