is that your way to :
1) say "Fuck you, Nick!"
2) play smart while everybody is in Vegas?
3) attention whoring?
4) all of the above?
you wisely took me out of the equation by offering the olive branch and have enough intelligence to push everybody's buttons, but...is it really worth your while?

Maybe for the same reason you run a wineboard that doesn't do that much business. Because it interests you. Also because its like rock climbing. What's the big deal. All you do is go from the bottom to the top. But I also do learn a lot from boards that does help my business. Attention whoring is not that interesting. Everyone in Vegas? Coincidence.
Fuck you Nick? Well, you see, I think that guys like Nick...and you can take this any way you like, have done serious damage to our business and I don't want to see it happen again. The day I opened a whitcon spam for some sort of teeny site I was pissed off. That stuff was sent out indiscriminately to a lot of kids as well. Ethically that sucks. I am sure Nick wouldn't want his kids looking at that shit, but felt ok about inflicting it on others. Beyond that, it has rocked confidence in the business and made it harder to earn a decent living. The damage done is finally starting to fade, but I for one, don't want to see it encouraged in any way. Why? Primarily it is bad for business and anyone that supports it is getting in the way of commerce. So as far as nick et al goes, I say good riddance and I hope their days of sleazy "mailing" have come and gone. And apart from that, he was so full of shit about so many things, that it was ludicrous. Hey Serge, why don't you invite him down to Fla for a pow wow? Trust me it will never happen.
Does that answer your questions?
So, my turn. Why do you come here if you are retired and have nothing to sell or promote. Surely this is not a hot bed of oeniphiles.
