Sex sells. Selling sex in any form is smart.
I will do my best to avaiod any cop-outs.
Thanks.

I don't want to belabor the point but weren't you the same guy who was saying affiliates are too stupid to realize when they have a good thing in front of them or something to that effect? I apologize if I twisted the meaning too far by inserting the word "idiots" into my above post. I'm sometimes guilty of taking too much creative license. :D
Anway it was mostly a figure of speech, as I was attempting in an oblique way to also includ all the other industry long-timers who have said over the years that they don't post much "because of all the idiots", "too much crap posted", "boring" etc. You're not the only one, not by a long shot. Don't feel too singled out.
One word of advice on posting, now that you've decided to come out of lurking mode; Never forget that this is largely an ego-driven business and/or online community. I'll illustrate why -- Back in the day there was barely enough room on the few boards we did have for the dozens of massive egos, nearly all of them trading incredibly clever board piss with one another. But at least most of them had actual business and an income to match it.
These days you have thousands of egos running around the boards but sadly most of them LACK anything of substance backing them up. Times have definitely changed.
Anyway good luck with it.
