A quick trip to Companies House will soon confirm for you that the

percentage of failed dotcoms is a very small percentage of the overall

business failures month on month, so how about highlighting that? Why dwell

on the negative side of a business that is having such a massive positive

impact on the way that we live and work, from communication, to information,

medical advice to buying a house.


You need look no farther than your own web-site to realise that without the

internet, you and the 39 other people your company employ's would be looking

for a job, so please, practise what you preach on your website and to quote

from your mission statement "bring together the skills of award winning

television and online media"


A positive programme would be so refreshing, you might even win an award ;o)



Cheers
