One cannot deny though, that in the year 2004, anyone with a little internet savvy can aquire themselves quite an education...

I can deny it. It's one thing if you are a professional talking to other professionals like we do here but quite another when a layman needs professional advice.

If you were sick would you seek advice on the net? I hope not but there are endless sites that give you just that as well as the drugs you might think you need.

I don't embrace the net the way some of our younger counterparts do who grew up behind a computer. Sure, there is lots of valuable information but lots also that is not so valuable. A little knowledge can be dangerous.

I operate as a sole proprietor but if I were going to incorporate I would certainly consult with my accountant. Yes, I have always had an accountant to handle taxes and financial matters. I wouldn't think of handling them myself or wasting my time on the net. When I need advice I just pick up the phone.
