I don't get it.  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.
