I also agree with Shemp and my posts are tentative because we all know that we become biased in one way or another when issues like this crop up.

It was interesting though that Steve once said that it was a guy named Tanker that put Lightspeed on the map and didn't mention the names of any models. He stated that Lightspeed was a small struggling company. If Tawnee was part of Lightspeed at the time that they were struggling, it says something about the power of the marketing component compared to just having a great looking model. In other words, if Tanker didn't come along with his marketing abilities, Steve may have still had Tawnee, but Tawnee never would have achieved the success she has and nor would Lightspeed.
