What are you saying? You think its *odd* that a company
wouldn't want to
loose $25k on an experiment? There are fortune 500 companies
where,
depending on what you were doing, your boss might give
resistance to such a
thing. It all depends on what it is. So for you to
generalize about someone
else's business circumstance is inapproporiate. And because
the company you
work for (not own it sounds like) lost $25,000 in 5 hours
of network outage
is no basis for comparison to any other company for any
reason. It is
totally irrelevant, and if I were Randy I might be offended
that you would,
in essence, dis his business by implying his business was
*odd* because it
was some weak little startup. You truly have no idea what
his business is
really about.
Providing uninvited comentary on someone elses business
under any
circumstances, but particularly when it isnt your forte, is
probably not a
good idea. The "our clients are only end users"
thing also implies "if we
can loose 25k in 5 hours with only end users as customers
then you must not
have much of a business if you cant afford to blow $25k when
you have
fortune 100 customers."
Very inappropriate indeed.

Fortune
100
companies aren't very well payers. It would be so awesome
if they would
pay on time someday.
