(To show how old I am: back then (1986-1999) we had these people called 'Fact Checkers' who would actually sit there and go over your copy line-by-line to ensure accuracy. For anything 'questionable' we also had a 'Legal Department'. Today? We have the Internet!)
Sorry you had to go through this JT. When you're running a business, and growing as fast as you are, it's hard to do everything. You must constantly feel "under the gun". I know I do and I'm a tiny % of your size. Some serious advice: vet everyone, always ask for examples/references and if you yourself are going to be a "face" of Ruseful then never, ever interact with anyone about your business unless you are relaxed and as stress-free as possible. Oh, and always smile. Haha!!
But hey, as they say: there's never any bad publicity.

I started breeding my first puppies in 1986
Actually, I set the company up in 2 modules, production and website. We have managers responsible for each and they have their teams below them. So I am not involved in too much of the day to day, and only speak with the 2 managers, and 99.9% of that is via email. I am certainly not someone who micro manages, my head would literally explode if I was. I do enjoy going on location though, enjoy being around the crews, but I am a bit of a loner when it comes to work. I can't work when others are around me as the slightest interruption will make me lose my trail of thought. My attention span is very narrow too, I can't watch TV and rarely watch a whole movie. I honestly blame YouPorn for that and watching 100's of scenes a month, doing my homework looking for a new niche, or how to improve on whats already out there.
And this morning, was supposed to be a great morning, our new doctor was shooting his first scene for FakeHospital.com. The 3rd email I opened was the one about the article and it REALLY bothered me and with every one of their responses, my day got worse.
