Well said Anthony.

My previous post was trying to get my point accross from both a business and web development point of view but I couldn't quite get out what I was trying to say

Lets cut out the business worries of a partnership and lets just say you are a web developer that is working with another web developer or creating a joint venture in an online business. In this case I think it is always good to work with some one else. Its hard in many cases beginning work with others but if you get use to working with one other programmer or designer things click alot faster. For example Tarun Hari and I have been working together now on projects for a while though we didnt know one another before and we work extremely well together.

If you were to start a web development firm, web hosting, etc. generally even just the work load is hard to comprehend for yourself and many of these that are successful are either partnerships or even companies.
