Yup.. I guess that when I drew it out in detail with only two mistakes
[POPs ended up a different location than what was planned] I was lying.
Nope, I did not lie, and neither would you if you were to think a
little. A business plan is just that, a PLAN, and the NIC is asking for
a PLAN, not a full view of the future. If you are wrong, you are wrong.
If you submit what you PLAN, that is what they are asking for.

If not, you don't have an idea of what your business is going to be
doing. As I said above, you may plan wrong, but you sure as HELL should
have a plan that at least goes a year into the future.

I don't appreciate being called a liar, Karl.
They asked for a PLAN, I supplied a PLAN.
