Let me know if you want on or off our Cryptogram Ping List, (currently at 40!)

Solution to our last puzzle:

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship. John D. Rockefeller

This was another challenging cryptogram, but worth the effort. Would be interested in the group's experience with the meaning of the quote. For me, it's pretty straight forward. We all have great friendships that started as partnerships in our work, but I can think of many examples of problems that arise from two friends, or family members who start a business out of friendship.

This doesn't mean you can't have a great business that friends and family put together, but if you put someone into business simply because they're your friend or a family member, and not because the business plan is sound, it can be a disaster.

Okay, that was a lot harder. That took me 10-12 minutes. What finally helped was identifying the 3 letter word that was inside the 4 letter word.
