Response to Original message |
| 159. ATTENTION: If you are one of the good small business owners. |
|
Then the OP is NOT ABOUT YOU. Really, there have been more than enough "b...b...but not all small business owners are like that! stop overgeneralizing!!1!" posts on this thread. Once again:
Not.
About.
YOU.
