I read your posts yesterday & it clicked in that if you didn't tell me that English was not your native language, I wouldn't have known. So I don;t think you have too much to be worried about

I can understand why someone might think that - and why in some cases it might be true - but I know on my side of things, that has nothing to do with it. Hell, I'm very good friends with 20 or so people that run Link Lists that I am in direct competition with. I also trade links with most of these people

The adult business has never really been about rivals - webmasters trade links with their "rivals", sponsors have links/consoles/ezclicks with "rivals", submitters send their sites/galleries to a list of "rivals", etc.

I've said this a million times, but it does fit in with this thread:

I market my sites towards English speaking surfers, because that is my native language. The message board I run is geared towards English speaking webmasters, because that is my native language.

I do not post on (insert non-English language here) boards because I do not speak that language. I do not market to (insert non-English language here) surfers because I do not speak that language.

I took 3 years of Spanish in High School - this does not qualify me to market to Spanish speaking surfers

I know that Mateusz is on vacation, but I'd be interested to hear from him as well as Fonz on this subject, because those are 2 webmasters that are here on a daily basis & while their native language is not English, if I wasn't told (or had to listen to a Cheeto covered Fonz in Miami ) I'd have probably never known it.
