That was a different time and place.

The only thing coming into this biz with lots of money does is make you perfect bait for the sharks. You are not just a penguin, you are a big, fat, juicy, sauteed and barbequed Penguin.

Not working for over 10 years while all this really evolved gives me less credibility in adult internet which is a fact that I am fully aware of. But where I have to disagree is this mentality that adult is something "special" when the companies and people here that I have noticed have any merit or worth are those that know how to start a Corporation and run it like a real business which means having a mainstream approach and in many cases experience.

The deals I am working on now all have crossovers because overall the technology and the IT talent is brilliant in adult and way under valued and truely can cut the costs in mainstream. A really smart woman or man with a contact list and relationships cross industry to facilitate some of that now is brilliant. The adult stigma is lessend as the dollar decreases and the need to do more for less without involving outsourcing to other countries and L-1 Visas(especially with the need to bring jobs home)

I do have alterier motives that is also a fact. I don't care for the direction that our govt. has chosen to go in or the prosecutorial choices but in order to get the information I needed to best position and debate the issues I needed both sides of the story and experience - this is why I put myself out there to be critisized at the cost of instigating the debate and reviewing the strong opinions on all sides.

As I say we remove the content and your left with the same thing mainstream or adult (adult much more talented) but overall none of us are really that special and especially not me. I do have a talent for which those who have spent time with me are fully aware of which is why of all the people working in adult there's just the handful (two of whom ripped me off) that keep coming after me.

One thing is for sure the insults towards the lame attempts to defend myself are warranted and deserved because being under NDA with so many people I can't even talk about what I have really done of value or who I have worked with.

Here's the deal. Real world or internet. Adult or straight. There are not a lot of boutiques with CEO's. There are a lot of boutique businesses that do very well and afford their owners a good lifestyle. I don't make the same spectacular gains of the 90's.....few do. In fact business ain't exactly booming at the moment, but it does afford me a good middle class lifestyle with a couple of houses, cars, tv and a couple of trips every now and then. I still maintain that you are clueless with your NDA's and strong opinions. Save that shit for your Republican party Shortbread Socials.
