If I was shopping for a freelancer and someone said something like that I would choose not to work with them. I don't mean any sort of disrespect. It's just occasionally we have to contract out for things, and when people make comments to me like that I immediately scratch them off the list. Replying sarcastically instead of politely asking clarifying questions back just scares off potential business.
