hey Batts, sorry to hear you are moving on - you are correct, it is almost impossible these days for anybody to shoot their own content and run their own sites from a standing start. I should have told you this when we first began chatting but you seemed so optimistic and seemed to have more resources than most of the guys like you I talk to that I decided to let you give it a go. it's no embarassment that you didn't have the success you planned - very few, if any, would have done any better.
because of sonofsam and you, both whom i consider friends, i'm going to stop being so encouraging to newcomers and give them the facts to do with what they like. i fear you were an easy mark for people wanting to make some money off you.
best of luck with whatever your next endeavors are mate
