When tech stocks crashed in March of 2000, all the IPO hopes vanished along with all the venture capital funding and things ended quickly. Just curious when you say you'd be silly rich if you'd started earlier, is that because you believe you would have capitalized more on the high ad rates or because you could have achieved an IPO?

I was involved early in the development of Refmaker and the AIC forums at delphi.com, if that means anything to you. I had a friend Rick, move to Bakersfield and work for Cashsurfers, not sure if you were still behind it then. The crash of that scene was actually a good thing for me, even though all my referrals basically became worthless overnight, I searched for new revenues streams and found the adult market.
