But i know of a company that just closed down last year - local folks who were in business since 1929.

they rubbed everybody the wrong way, owed the entire county money, had a class action lawsuit against them, and finally went out of business.

The point is they lasted almost 100 years before they went out.

Lots of shit companies still exist in the world that does everything wrong from A to Z.

Please Lotus don't take that offensively i just have always hated the analogy that because something has been around a long time, means its successful..

"They" ran the company for 100 years? Or is just the most recent generation problematic, hence the closing of their doors after years of success? Your example seems to prove my point.

Also, I wasn't arguing that Shanahan does everything right. I simply pointed to staying power.
