well,
RB's of this world made their fortunes because they didn't have to call board meeting to pay $100,000 for traffic ON the spot when situation warranted it...
Hard to achieve the same speed with corporate mastodonts...
as for
"Penthouse is leaving money on the table still. Take it."
where do I send my invoice?
;-))))
as for Flynt and Ken..
let's face it,
lets give Larry Flynt the credot for recognizing Ken's talents and knowledge of the business and having him run with the ball EARLY in the game,
Playboy today also went Flynt's route and got Lensman to promote their product.
Penthouse should go the same route,
there are plenty of good people out there who know what they are doing and might be interested in this kind of arrangement.
Jordan, MarcDe, Mr. Cash, Dean
were the first names popped in my head...

Sure.
Young companies run by owner/operators will always be more flexible and responsive
than corporations in rapidly developing markets. totally agreed.
I see us as IBM who let Microsoft dominate a new market. But IBM is still big. They needed to re-invent themselves as a service company. That is our test.
and I do give credit to LF for realizing that the adult web was a different animal than the magazine he created in the 1970's. kudos to him.
If we tried to do it totally my ourselves, we would be stupid. Its' just like anything. If you don't know how to do it; hire the best.
