I don't believe I ever said any such thing. In fact, I've said many times that most users of OFBiz do everything on their own and never hire a consultant, and for the project that is a very good thing. Not everyone will want to do that, and it won't always be the most cost-effective (and certainly not time-effective) thing to do, so there is certainly a market for consulting. However, that is not and never should be considered a requirement for using the project or a design objective of the project. Not ever. -David
