Literally dozens upon dozens have said this very thing over the years, yet few of these folks bother to ask whether or not we would be interested in selling 'all' of our inventory to one company, even potentially displacing current customers.

We always found that request to be odd as if we were willing to do this once, wouldn't we do it again? This would always put current clients at risk everytime a new one runs a small test.

I have wondered at times if there is some 'get into the online porn business' infomercial that people outside the industry get to see before they come to a trade show as many of the assertions made sound strangely similar after a while.
