Doing very well, then leaving the biz for good

[Carrie]

I know of one person who said he was getting out but still hung around the boards, eventually took a position with one of the Big Guys and started up his own program again; he stopped working for the Big Guy and recently sold ALL of his adult stuff (program, domains, everything) and I think a bunch of his mainstream stuff as well.
He wasn't back on the top of his game but his program had great potential and was profiting and quickly gathering speed; no idea why he decided to jump out unless he just didn't want to deal with the stuff he saw coming up (Visa, Acacia, etc).
