Alex,

	What's wrong with being small?  I think a lot of companies have much 
more growth potential when they can fess up that they are, in fact, a 
1,2,3,10 person operation.  I hate going to websites that are all done 
up in flash, make claims about their support staff, etc. when it is in 
fact only one guy that made a fancy website and nothing more.  Content, 
please!

	Last time I checked, soemthing like %50 (or more) of the businesses in 
the US were "small".  We can't all be Fortune 500 :).
