So they're not only driving the economy they're doing it in secret (i.e., "confidentially"). I had to read the original article just in case that was a typo: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/sba-administrator-announces-national-small-business-week-awardees-300824957.html. In all seriousness, that's great news. I haven't dealt with EarthQuaker Devices but your endorsement goes a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
