Callak, though I did not want to go in this again, I do:
May I teach you something about Western economy today? :
Bigger companies swallow the little ones. All what is good will be annexed,
fresh ideas or what was unique at the smaller company will be sold
and advertised as new product of the bigger company.
Staff gets fired, cause they may have concepts which do not fit to the new owners
(or to prevail redundances or lots of other reasons).
The Original Product will become destroyed and vanishes from the markets
(one rival in business less, on the way up to market leader) .
This is a very poor explanation, but my English is not good enough for more.
But is that what you want to see??
Or do you have found new ways to get out of situations like that?
Lots of those small companies that are threatened by such fate
would be thankful for that and pay you well.
Do not take that personally- but easy to be aware of- I`m gettin`angry.
And Frith- I agree with you , thy!
