"But then Iâ€™m doing something to fix that rather than debate the semantics ad nauseum"

It was you, not me, who started the discussion about this, my original comment was completely unrelated.

I would say that a spreadsheet is a general business application, not accounting software, it does not do a VAT return, or even have nominal, sales or purchase ledgers. I guess it depends how broad you want to be about how you refer to the function of a piece of software.

Anyway, regarding my original point, this thread is the proof, you were rude or controvercial and I came back!

I say don't hold back, a bit of controversy or out and out rudeness is what keeps most of us reading these blogs! ;-)

I used to ebay quite a lot, however since moving to the country and not having a local post office, it's become too much hassle. Although I read this so obviously still keep up to date with what's going on.

Re: Paying Lip Service to Failure Is Not Enough

Hi, Whilst I agree with what you are saying, we have just been through an excercise of finding a suitable business consultant to help us with a few areas which we lack skills and experience. To be blunt, if someone had a string of failed businesses behind them I don't think I would be very keen to follow their advice, let alone pay them for it. So whilst I agree that failure is a learing curve and it happens from time to time, in our circumstances finding someone who has been successfull in growing similar businesses is what we needed.

Re: Technology to Sales: The Evolution of a Software Startup

As a software company ourselves we have started out in the exact oposite way! Those of us who started the company originate from Sales, Marketing and Accounting backgrounds. We sub-contract in the best consultant for each specific job as it's won. That being said we are a reseller as opposed to developing the software ourselves, and we all have product knowledge from previous companies, I have seen a few other businesses starting up this way recently.
