Regarding kewlJ / MDawg issue

[MisterV]

when you own your own business you have no one looking over your shoulder. If you want to work for 2 hours a day and spend 3 hours on this unhinged forum then who is to stop you? Either your business needs it or you don't. Plenty of small business owners show up with a big sonic cup with a strong dose of vodka on a friday.

But he isn't a "business owner" in the sense you are talking about.

Dawg is an attorney, and while he may have some proprietary interest in the firm he is the point man and needs to actually work quite frequently.

Sure, he can have staff, paralegals, investigators and clerks assist him but there are things he simply MUST do, such as appear in court for motions or trials, review cases to instruct underlings, and meet with and schmooze clients, both new and existing.

Much can be done remotely but the notion that he was able to maintain a viable practice while remaining ensconced in a suite in sin city for many months on end baffled me, as it seems logistically incongruent with reality.
