A little off topic but why do online companies keep hiring people whose only experience with being a webmaster is butchering their myspace page? Do webmasters with real experience cost too much money? Not that you'll get lucky enough to get another Sarah but at least try. Maxcash rules, just get a rep that is worthy.

I agree to a LARGE extent, however - there are extenuating circumstances that would allow me to hire one without webmaster skills.
For example: Max Cash is my baby to run. I have 12 years worth of hands on experience and made my partners, associates, content producers, affiliates and myself millions and millions of dollars over the years. Truth is, I can't code a page for shit and consider myself a "techtard". YET - I know how to make deals, sell, market, create a product, execute and MAKE PEOPLE $$$!
If I could find someone with a quarter of my experience, contacts, knowledge, enthusiasm and drive ... yet also NO webmaster skills - I'd hire them in a heartbeat
BTW - Sarah rules!
Bottom line: I took over 3 months ago and we're rebuilding, restructuring, hired a new design manager, new editors, new programmers, now affiliate reps, etc. We've got 9 new sites in development, plus redesigns of some classics, new tools, a new version of MaxCash.com coming PLUS a whole new Gay Division in development. Trust me, Maxcash rules now - but we are going to rock so much harder in the months to come
