Most of us who have been around awhile and are good at it, can recognise crap for what it is. Some of us learned the hard way. Some harder than others. But this is a great and potentially profitable business and if anyone says they are getting out, MHO is that they are not doing well. Fuck this going mainstream shite. Isn't it funny how many "retire" to live off their "ginormous earnings and investments" only to return and try and regroup to see if they can keep up with those of us who stayed because we were earning money? I guess when they can't afford the country club anymore and the only Bentley they will ever see again is in a brochure and that damn pesky border just gets in the way, they gotta try something or their finger nails will break trying to hang on to the rope. It just cracks me up.

Im not hung up on it personally.
It is what it is.
If it functions nothing more than a blog for me and a place to organize information and news then its worth what I paid for it.

But your right. Not only does Alexa numbers tend to agree with that statement but so do google analytics. And those numbers combined with server stats are very informative.

A lot of people read Oprano daily and frequently.
Some people just dont have the time or inclination to post.

Thats fine. Just keep reading!
