True story. It tickles me that a website for the ''online'' Amish community - being a group of traditionalist Christian church fellowships known for simple living, plain dress, and reluctance to adopt many conveniences of modern technology, can, notwithstanding a fairly gaping flaw in its business model, have made a much better fist of surviing in business than the unrelated investment bank did.
We should rejoice that a website for the ''online'' Amish community - being a group of traditional church fellowships known for simple living, plain dress and a reluctance to adopt the convenience of modern technology, can, notwithstanding a fairly gaping flaw in its business model, have made a much better fist of surviving in business than a giant financial services advisor with the same name did.
