Criminy you all are merciless.

Cut the guy a break and let him learn to swim before you drown him out in criticisms.

Aly was great in many respects and I like her but the simple fact is that she was simply a spokesperson, albeit a good one because of her charm and gracious wit. However, she was not a program OWNER, a link list OWNER, a TGP,MGP OWNER or anything else in terms of being the genius behind building a company. She was a rep and people often confuse REPS with OWNERS. She was paid to be at shows. She was not a leader. She was never a programmer. She didn't control traffic descisions. She was an employee who went to shows to put a face with a program. And that is still her role.

She will be the first to admit that.

So if the new guy needs to establish relationships and wants to start helping communication and effecting change then give him a friggin' chance. Let him establish himself on his own merits just like Aly had the chance to do.

I am still irked by the passive aggressive nitpicking hating on AVN... how many have picked up the phone or written an email to them to actually deal directly with them and form a relationship by letting them know how you feel?
