How to close down my company..?

Not sure this is appropriate in a professional forum

It's a wholly appropriate response based on the OP and question. You'll know if you know. DT commands a certain response to his questions. Check his other posts and responses. There is such a thing as a stupid question despite what people say and even on a professional forum pointing out how dumb that question is is still appropriate sometimes. Try asking a dumb question on Mumsnet

Cojak specifically states

So basically, we will help where we can but we dislike lazy posting. If you find the above steps too much of a hassle, you deserve all you get.

In general yes you are right. In the case of the OP then wholly appropriate.
