I've never been afraid to put myself out there and ask for help. I've also never turned down an offer to help someone else. It's the way I believe life should work and I try my best to pass that belief on to others. Thank you!

Nothing personal with you or anyone else, tho... I was talking in general terms, according to what I see and experience.
I would also like to add that all the people I added to ICQ these last few years, hardly are opened to talk. It's like they are involved in their own tasks and are not able or opened to have a conversation to exchange knowledge.
BTW, you talk about networking with other adult webmasters. Where do you do that? Really wondering...

I was going to let Glenn answer for himself, but I can tell you from the personal communications I've had with Glenn, he's always been willing to answer questions and offer advice. I would even guess that he would try to help with issues not regarding Pimproll and Hosted Tube. He's a super-motivated individual and seems very open.
I talk the ears off of people on ICQ. I've honestly had conversations that went on to eat up entire work days. It's not always about advice or sharing information, I just love to talk. That is where the majority of information is exchanged, for me personally.
There are times when people don't respond because they are busy, or just don't want to talk. I just give them a couple days and try again. Sometimes I don't ever get a reply and I know not to bother that person any longer. But, don't give up on the first try, and always be humble.
I've also had some very long email conversations. Sometimes email is a better method to communicate than ICQ because there is less pressure to respond right away. When responses are made, they are very detailed and thorough. But again, sometimes people just don't want to be bothered. I just leave them alone and move on.
My best advice to you, on this subject, would be to not let rejections of the past effect potential relationships in the future.
