Lackluster Performance
Only 87 firms added this month.
Pitiful.
Well, I only have so much energy. So much time in a day. And living in one town, working in another, trying to make sure
there's bread on the table. Well, sometimes things slip.
But still, to go from 876 firms added in May (an unsustainable pace) to 87...
Please know that I am doing my best. This site is what it is because I do review each submission. An automated system would
lead to a lot of junk. Junk is not good. Makes the site less useful.
I don't have such a large queue of firms, with such a long lag before adding a firm because I want to. Or that I want to push
firms to upgrade to Full Member status (doesn't work, whatever you might think), but I do it because I have set a quality standard
for 6 years now that I am determined to keep.
I also think it's appropriate to reinforce the notion that independent web projects are not commercial machines. You shouldn't
expect something for nothing. You will likely get something for nothing from many independent projects, but you can't always
expect it to happen instantaneously. At least if they've been lucky (?) to grow to the size this little project has.
