  • BHopkins, on 05/30/2008, -0/+2Maybe we should all bill that way. People would learn to respect your time no matter what industry.

  • dcmusicfusion, on 05/30/2008, -0/+2We certainly have a litigous society...and less litigation is generally a good thing.

  • aflusche, on 05/30/2008, -0/+1That's exactly why you should group your questions and minimize phone calls. Better to be charged for one six-minute phone call than two or three.
  • LegacyR, on 05/30/2008, -0/+1I totally agree with that, but sometimes life puts you in situations that are unavoidable. Family, Friend, etc.
  • SevenC, on 05/30/2008, -0/+1What really scares me about attorneys:

    Most attorneys bill in six-minute increments, so even a quick phone call to your attorney will cost 1/10th of an hour (possibly $25).

    Ouch...
  • LegacyR, on 05/30/2008, -1/+1While the concept of the power-user bugs me, wasting everyone's time by commenting on it sure isn't any better. MBM has brought some good things to the Digg table so lets save the comments for some actual good content...like this comment...on a comment...hmmm...
