Kurt you are embarrassing yourself.  You are completely misrepresenting that conversation and thinking people here will feel sorry for you.  To be successfully, not just here, but ANYWHERE in life you have to take responsibility, something apparently new to you.  You can’t grow if you blame everyone and everything else.  You certainly aren’t making others want to reach out and help you. 

If you can’t admit you are wrong, you clearly don’t have the integrity required to run a business.
