I would imagine that if the people here had six-figure contracts then they indeed would be somewhat more philosophically and financially inclined to restrict their activities in the sector that the contract was involved in.

The original poster was talking about smaller-scale web clean-up operations which certainly didn't give the impression that they were working in this kind of area, however.

And, while I don't move in the rarified circles that WebmasterWorld mods obviously do, I would have expected six-figure contracts to have included a non-compete clause as a matter of course.

Certainly it was something I have raised initially with any larger contracts without prompting from the client. That's how we do it the normal world, buckworks.
