Of course, neither of those things brought in 10 times my original revenue either

How many people remember the mess that was Adult Buffet after James(?) left for a 3 month vacation? Every time I think about not doing it myself, I think of that.

Personally. I'd like to hear Jim's opinion on things.
I know you would like to hear my opinion on this. As I told you, I am not sure if I was asked by our mutual friend not to mention it or not. So, I will do it without using too many details.

There really is no reason to do much work at all in this business. All you really have to do is to convince a major linklist owner first, that you have many more connections than they do. And, that it would be in his or her best interest to turn over all preselling of advertising and all monies from that linklist to you. And then after avoiding phone calls for several months, and after finally being hunted down, you give that linklist owner a tiny percentage of what is rightfully due to him or her. Thinking back Mark, you know what I mean, right?

The best way to stay in this business by taking their money is to swindle someone so bad that they are embarrassed to bring it to the public eye.

Probably the only thing you said that people who know you would believe you said without some sort of agenda behind it.
