No idea about Jon, barely met him.. You will have to figure that out on your own..

I lived nearby, at the southwest of the vancouver island.. close to the Urban Market..

And if you want a bit of.. something to hate me even more about.. Im one of the ones that you all dislike.. Sorry to disappoint.. But we are in the 7th.. or.. actually 8th figure region per month.. to TRULY dislike me.. and I mean on both the Adult and Mainstream ends..

I could sell out, tomorrow, and be in the $100M+ region.. and despite that, Im not the major business partner.. and I REALLY dont give a fuck what you think.. so keep me entertained.. or tell me how to block oprano.. (or tell my tech..)

After all, Im Angelic, right? Which Im sure, unless youre REALLY retarded, you figured out, by now, isnt at all the case..

Im also not American, or Canadian.. even though Ive lived in both the US and CA.. and the EU..

I couldve bought AEBN any time of the week. Infact, I did buy a (and, sure, I realize AEBN "just" a VOD company.. but if youre no longer in the 1M+ profit per mo region, then wtf are you still doing in "mainstream"?

*I* do more than $1M+/mo in "mainstream"..

If you havent heard about a "great deal", aka GroupOn.com, by now, then just .. get a job at McD..

I wouldnt call you "some of us", but rather most of everyone.

The people that "succeeded" (and sure, thats up for discussion as well), but the people that are VERY well off.. aren't the ones that cared about what YOU or 'that other guy' wanted..

Might not be the best example, but its one of the best.. Zynga.. $600M+/yr.. does anyone of you REALLY think they cared what happened to the 'gaming industry'.. EA, Disney, both acquired major 'farmville'ish' companies as soon as they could.. And I've talked to a few decent sized gaming companies.. about buying them.. one of them told me they'd never sell to EA, because they require 120 hr weeks.. and immediate results..

NO ONE truly 'succeeds', without essentially being a company that just cares about profit..

And that said, why should anyone in the "Adult Industry"?..

When everyone had 65% margins, sure, throw a vegas party.. or orlando,, or miami.. we were all there.. even though I have little interest in letting you know who i am..

ITS FUCKING BUSINESS.. friends are friends.. and to most anyone that hasnt already 'succeeded..', pretty much none of you will be my 'friend'..

"Well off, Succeeded," are very interesting terms. Terms that mean different things, to different people.

Describing them, the way you describe them, only pinpoints your maturity level. "Parasites," might be a better term for those that feed off others without adding any value.

If, indeed, you have any "value," whatsoever. (Which I question.)
Frankly, I just can't see why such a "successful" guy like you, would waste your time here?

Surely, you must have much more important things to do. Howz 'bout you go do 'em, and let the adults get back to the real business of the industry?

Sure, you can always argue that "making money" doesn't mean you've succeeded..

But Im not about to be a friend of yours, or anyone else here.. so can we keep this to business only?

Call me a parasite.. it wont matter to me.. but make sure to also include most everyone else that ACTUALLY runs (or is involved with) a BIG company..

Do you really think GE, or Walmart dont 'have issues..'..? If you don't, then please spend an hour or.. 15 years to figure things out..

I've been in the adult industry since mid-1997.. and I havent made more money in 2010, by far, than I ever did before..

As for 'well off' and 'succeeded'.. I've got a $7M flat... which, still, doesnt make me any happier.. but we're not talking about happiness here.. it's business..

And I come here because I followed Serge.. (and MikeAI) from YNOT, to Netpond, to Oprano... and once a day, Im pretty bored.. so pretty much the same reason you're here.. and everyone else..
