Also, and not to cause more problems for some of you, "the industry" IMHO supports .xxx – and when I say "the industry" I mean the name-brand players that are actually making money and not the wannabes and small operators – even though there's tens of thousands of these "little guys" that might be opposed to it, combined, their total revenue likely falls below that of the 'smallest' player behind the scenes.

Re.. first para.. Painting pictures of the perception of "serious operators" is in your own mind - it's a simplified label. There are no questions and answers where Lawley can help - information on .XXX TLD's is already published - other than the backroom deals and don't expect him to answer these.
Re.. second para. You think? Why on earth would you think that??? News for ya Stephen - this industry is based on everyone in it and not "name-brand players". It is totally irrelevant what these people earn or don't earn - they buy domains and that is as far as the .XXX TLD issue relates to them. Obviously the mass market in domains are assigned to the "average webmaster" or small company and these are the people who are relevent in this issue - not the extreme ends of the scale, "brand name players" or newbie webmasters.
The "average webmaster" is the person who would be filling Lawley and his "associates" pockets - and this has nothing to do with any purported aims of .XXX TLD's, such as concern for children. It's a money grab in it's simplest form.
PS The arrogance is still seeping thru the woodwork
