I call it "being less competitive by being more competitive" - but i think i may prefer your formulation. you got banned for pointing to ning? holy shit that is absurd. do accountingweb readers want to know more about cool tools to make knowledge apps in accounting more useful. no probably not. why would they want that. to be honest dennis you're right. give it another 12 months of blogging at the rate you are and you potentially wont be far off their readership.... lovely phrase David – “the more you send them away the more they come back”….
