Despite that information, I still buy it.  Business entities that no longer fit the "small" definition can hit the wall of stupidity/psychopathy (whereby the becoming one of the two become interchangeably  unidentifiable, despite prior good work) pretty fast.  So I'm still reading this as *symptom* of the GFC rather than caused by NAP being a bunch of bleeps.  However, it still sucks.  I'm just reluctant to point fingers etc.
