Paul - I agree with what you're saying, just not with your aggressive and argumentative tone. I came here for help from people with your experience, not to hear presumptions about A) how much money I have, B) what I intend to do and C) how I intend to do it.
I have enough money not to work ever again. I work in this industry because I'm hoping to eventuallu actualize an ambition with a different professional agenda. I also shoot my own content - certainly not on your scale - and buy regularly from 5 different providers.
I came here for help. And, just in case no one tells you, there are good ways and bad for offering advice.
If anyone has a problem with me, send me your address and we'll discuss it in person. I'll be in the states for a vacation after I move house in a couple of weeks. I'd be more than happy to sit down with you and discuss your issues. Actually, I think I'd find it incredibly rewarding, both in clearing up any anamosity you might have towards me and picking your brains - since I clearly know very little
