Looks like the economic environment plays a certain role here....
brilliant insight, good thing you are here to point this out or where would we be?

Well, one thing is if a company like istock just needs to meet a certain amount of Profit for the satisfaction of the investors or shareholders, another thing is if a company has to force certain unpleasant measurements in order to remain profitable at all. The first thing is greed, the second thing is need. Huge difference.
No need to get arrogant here....
