Webmaster shows is plumbers talking to plumbers.

Now, I do see great potential for online companies who choose to brand themselves going to shows like the AEE / AVN show and doing the public part of the deal. I can see potential in this for a company like Lightspeed (because they have already branded themselves online and because they are now selling DVDs), but most of the plumbers would not be interested, IMHO, in exposing themselves to the public.
