Do you think that just because you put money on the table - of your own free will, without anyone asking you to do so - you get to order us around? Besides, do you think anyone is impressed by the sum you're offering? At my usual rate, it would buy you around five hours of my time. If you want someone you can order around, hire them, pay them real money, and *then* tell them what to do; but as long as you want them to work for free (or as close as makes no difference), you'll have to stick to meek suggestions.
