having read the interview.................
part seems to be merely a regurgitation of Serge's "Gold Rush" posts ,
part was the opinion of a rebel without a clue.
The rest however I must say , was total garbabge.

Hmmm, maybe you can clue me on as to what Gold Rush posts you are referring to. If you think I merely repeated what I read elsewhere, you are wrong.
I have never read anyone use the Gold Rush analogy (other than myself in previous interviews).
I am also interested in what you thought was garbage.

Good read baddog.
Your one of the few people out there that actually take time to promote yourself.
You wouldn't believe how many lazy motherfuckers there are in this business that bitch and moan, they make no money. But then again..all they do is sit on their ass and wait for the next coming of Christ or something.
They want the money and the webmasters.
But, they don't wanna take a few minutes of their time to do whatever they need to do, to get them webmasters.
Sad, but true.
Fuck them all...let them rot on the unemployment line.

Just as a follow up (to Diamond Jim, since he seems so concerned), I asked PC if she minded if I bumped the GFY thread to retract my comment (even though there really is nothing to retract), and she said she would prefer if the issue dropped from the boards.
I will abide by her wishes.
Sorry Jim.

hate to disagree with you, but Levi Strauss opened in 1854 in San Francisco. Perhaps he made more during the Klondike Rush, but he got his start from the Calif Gold Rush
I stand by my assertion.

if it was before 1996 and targeting adult, okay. I will remember it for the next time, if I ever bring it up again.

the question was, "Predictions for the future… where do you think the adult web will be a year from now?"
I don't think your observation would have been an appropriate response.
Of course, I do try to limit my comments to my perspective, and not that of others.

here is what you probably was reffering to,
alas, the source of it is...a LEGEND:
http://www.pbs.org/goldrush/goldcountry.html
King of the wheeling, dealing entrepenuers was Sam Brannan. The man who pulled the trigger on the Gold Rush was expanding his sphere of influence -- and earning unheard of profits. While miners talked of gold, Brannan shrewdly bought up carpet tacks -- every tack in California. By cornering the market, he could extort huge profits, a technique he executed flawlessly -- over and over. But Brannan was only the first in a long line of entrepenuers who made their fortunes without digging for gold.
In 1853 -- according to legend -- this man stitched a pair of pants out of canvas; sturdy pants that later became popular with the miners -- very popular. His name:Levi Strauss. But during the Gold Rush, Strauss was best known for his prosperous dry good business. It wasn't until 1872 that he added a critical innovation to canvas pants, the metal rivet -- a breakthrough that would change the course of American fashion.
This New York butcher decided one day to walk to California. Eventually, he opened a meat market in Placerville -- and later took his profits to Milwaukee, where he set up a meat processing plant. His name was Phillip Armour, and the Armour meat packing company became one of the nation's largest.
Armour's neighbor in Placerville, was an enterprising wheelbarrow maker who dreamed of bigger things. After saving every dime for six years, he left California for his home in Indiana. There, he plowed his profits into the family wagon-making business.
The man's name was John Studebaker -- and the family enterprise would go on to build covered wagons for the Oregon-bound pioneers, and later -- automobiles.
These two businessmen also looked west and saw opportunity. Sensing the unsettled atmosphere in California -- they offered what many miners desperately wanted: stability. The offered secure, honest banking, transportation, even mail delivery. They were Henry Wells and William Fargo. Their company, Wells Fargo, became a giant in the banking industry.
The most famous celebrity of the Gold Rush era came to California as a complete unknown and took a job writing for the San Francisco "Call." It wasn't long until his fanciful story about a frog jumping contest in nearby Calaveras County thrust him into the national spotlight. His name: Samuel Clemens -- Mark Twain.

1) you contradict yourself with the dates..
Gold Rush started in 448-49,
and LS opened the store in 1854...long after the rush was over
;_)))
|
Not really sure why I am arguing this point with you, however, Levi Strauss was selling his pants (made out of tent canvas) before he had enough money to open his first store.
He was a kid, newly arrived to CA, with the intent of selling tents and wagon covers. The pants idea came as the result of a miner complaining that pants wore out too fast mining in the mountains.
While gold was indeed first discovered in 1848, and the rush began in 1849, this lasted several years. Strauss arrived in 1850, and the Gold Rush was still going strong.
With all due respect, I am sorry, but being a 5th generation Californian, born in San Francisco, and rather proud of my heritage, I highly doubt you are going to school me on California history.

In 1853 -- according to legend -- this man stitched a pair of pants out of canvas; sturdy pants that later became popular with the miners -- very popular. His name:Levi Strauss. But during the Gold Rush, Strauss was best known for his prosperous dry good business. It wasn't until 1872 that he added a critical innovation to canvas pants, the metal rivet -- a breakthrough that would change the course of American fashion.

haha - so, because it was legend, it can't possibly be true? Maybe you aren't real either then, huh

Arguing over a $20 pair of jeans and a $15 shovel.
Bored, eh?
(yeah yeah Serge I know it's more than that - but since the point isn't being made there really isn't a point, is there?)
