Trust me.
I was reading Cobalt Paladin’s Corporate Junk. It is on blogspot which is blocked in China and I couldn’t reply. (Actually I didn’t want to sign in over the proxy.) So I’m posting a reply here.
The incident is typical, all in the day job as an entrepreneur. What I want to comment on is on the comments. I bet none of them are running their own business.

I understand what you say but there are certain details that I didn’t divulge in my entry. Maybe I didn’t make the right decision but maybe I did? * shrugg *
