CTB,

Did they shave me?
FUCK YEAH!!!
Hard and often!!! How do I know? They fucking gloat to me over it!!! LOL
But there checks were bigger than anyone elses.
So what does that say?

Don't be so certain that you don;t have more principles than me Nick. Being a nice guy is a relatively recent status quo in terms of my 37 years on the planet.
Evil is as evil does - and another pet hate is people who use that line who, face-to-face, haven't got a real evil bone in their body !!
Anyhoo, I digress.
What other real options did you have way back when?
I should say, I don't begrudge any of the old school ANYTHING - In fact, I admire the guts and hard work it took to grab the opportunities with both hands and shake the shit out of it.
Pioneers in ANY industry have the luxury, nay, the RIGHT, to do things the way they want to, irrespective of whether that be good, bad or indifferent.
Those who have the cajones to do the hardest yards in the early days have the God given right to do things the way they see fit, and more power to them for that.
How many of us would be here if it wasn't for the work put in developing this industry by the likes of Scotty, Serge, yourself and others back in those days? I never forget that.
The point I make, and to steal a line oft stated by Serge, it is not 1999 anymore.
Times change and every business evolves.
And as I have said above, all we can do is TRY to make things different or better, again depending on your perspective.
