Bill,
lotta truth in what you say about xenophobia making a sale to a group of
'roundeyes' a bitter pill to swallow. On a comparative scale, though, I'd think
Voluntarily choosing to bankrupt and destroy one's company rather than sell a
small part of it to a willing buyer counts as a much bigger disgrace. Maybe
that's just me. :-D
Time will Tell.
Time always Does.
