Travis,
I think I have to agree with you here. I have been on the fence for
most of this but I think I need to shy towards the smaller business
owner.
The reason I am turning this way is because my brother was in
business with someone who was arrested for something that will
destroy the reputation of the company, since the owner is the person
arrested, my brother broke was with him to avoid "guilt thru
association"
post.
I just found out abut this today...
Funny how when it is happening to someone else it is so easy to make
judgments against....
