That is precisely the point. Just a little sleuthing and you can see they either have a friend with a website or they have a site that hasn't succeeded. Its the same band of less than a handful that move from thread to thread acting out their multiple-personalities until they will self destruct. It took me a while to find this thread its already faded into obscurity. And this is the last time I'll post. Private enterprise is the most gratifying accomplishment you can have.

Has anyone condemned Eminem for commanding tens of millions of dollars for his cd's? Yes. Has it helped. No, he is still up for a Grammy, and like my grandson says, ..well perhaps I can't repeat it. If you can command an audience, fees and a superlative service than I commend these people for their initiative, success, polish, and a very nice product to boot. Who is doing the condemning?. A group of antagonists who have already faded into oblivion. They will no doubt surface once again when someone else on SI has been blessed with success in private enterprise.

There is natural selection in this business as in any other. Those that last the year or two and can continue to command audiences will thrive, those that can't will be weeded out. So far all that is weeded out are the thorns that have accomplished nothing except prove the age old adage: those that can do, those that can't band together to criticize. I have had a laugh at the antics of the posters to this thread and even had my grandson read their posts. Two generations agree that this is a poorly veiled attempt to disrupt out of frustration, lack of talent, lack of initiative. But they can put up their dukes and fight. Perhaps they should just start a thread called: THE FIGHT CLUB,and just beat the threaders into submission.
