Not sure if it's short-sightedness, but our big frustration is (1)
people seem to irk because we're based in Newcastle and not
London ("we must have a meeting down in London" - why? we're
more accessible on the net! - inevitably meetings don't happen
because unless it's absolutely worth our while they don't happen)
and (2) companies that seem to think because there's just 2
people at Loquax that we're some kind of blooming charity.

We've had everything from big companies asking for free banner
placement to someone asking "so how do i get people to buy stuff
from my site" (if i knew i'd be running a flipping online store) - it's at
times like that you do wish that there was someone about able to
say "I'm sorry he's in a staff meeting"
