I just kind of let it lie when all of you high rollers decided that poor little content guys never make enough money to post here anyway and all kinds of legal threats were being tossed around by morons. I just don't think that aggro is worth it actually. So I decided to take the advice of many when it gets heated. I concentrated on business and travel. Damn autumn in Provence and Paris was a bitch. Someday maybe I too can have a shack in the backwoods like Peaches. Then maybe I can return to Oprano. But I must say Gonzo, this place is looking good and I do get some great info and gossip lurking.
Glad to see the old school disappeared. It will be interesting to see if 12clicks can make it fly. It might settle that old school vs honest business debate once and for all. I seem to recall he said he would never ever do porn again. The money was all in mainstream and he had enough to retire anyway. Should be a good soap opera.

Most of us arent afraid to work now and not looking for the next exercise in PT Barnum marketing.

I have no need to promise people that I will earn their business. Isnt that a used car salesman line anyway?

I produce results.
I dont have Interpol or disatisfied people looking for me.
I pay my paultry mortgage every month on a house with no boasts of just paying against the interest. I think the call those people renters and they dont have to pay property tax.
I sleep well at night and I cross the border at will.

Im glad you still enjoy the board. It took me awile to get a business plan in mind and I am still executing it little by little. People can whine all they want to about how this place is dead but you and I know that A LOT of people read this place and have never posted.

Something about having credibility I suppose.
And thats much more effective than my claim to fame of being fat.
