ThrobX, I have known you for a long time. I do however respectfully disagree with your view. As much as I agree that this is a business processing transactions like any other business, it is still built around the sex industry, in some cases even a seedy side of the sex industry. I remember my first show, I was absolutely baffled seeing prominent guys in the hotel lobbies picking up trashy hookers and walking up to their rooms in front of everyone. This is an industry whereas parties are often times thrown at strip clubs, or even at brothels in many cases. The threshold for professionalism is more liberal. That said, cases like this will occur with more frequency. What is important is that people still respect certain, more liberal limitations.
Just my thoughts on it.
(ThrobX, can you email me? I would like your icq again...)

Well, we'll have to agree to disagree on this. We're marketing a product, doesn't make any difference to me if it's a pencil or a pussy, we're in the marketing business. The nature of the product should have no impact on our professionalism. Just my opinion, I COULD be wrong. Your mileage may vary, etc. It's cool, of course.
Maybe this will more clearly illustrate my thoughts... Raven makes a good point. If, for example, I, as the owner of my company, choose to get drunk and obnoxious at an industry soiree, any soiled reputation is purely my OWN fault. If, however, my employee chooses to get drunk and obnoxious, then it's THEIR fault, but it ultimately reflects poorly upon ME. That's where I draw the line (income generation aside, that was more a joke than anything).
Email with ICQ number on the way.
