"What else do you expect, the owners run a business, and business's number one goal is to make money, everything else is just window dressing to disguise the achievement of that goal."

I can tell you've never run a private company. Yes, the number one goal IS to make money... to pay for employees, their benefits and health care and contributions. Oh, and to reinvest into the company, new product research, new or updated equipment, heck even something as simple as new computers for the office.

As for 'window dressing' - that's called 'products and services.' It may be 'window dressing' to you, but for those who own and run a business, that window dressing is what makes or breaks a company - the difference, in most cases, between viable and 'well, we gave it a shot.'

I think you should apologize to the many people on this board who have businesses and put countless hours, time, effort and money into them to make them not only viable, but better.
