Maybe I should not try to get to the bottom of this. I know bread
and dough mean money... All is too cryptic... I was sort of
interested in the idea of the figure for website spending and
there are not too many "small businesses" I know that spend
anything like these amounts... I know that sb takes in a wide
net.... Anyway, it looks as if I am not going to get answers from
whoever gave these figure...
Bottom line: I will hold off for the moment sending my clients
notices accusing them of cheapskating...
