Yep, I was very conflicted at the time - since I got some very conflicting advice from MikeAI. He gave me some of the best advice I ever got, which was to concentrate on what I knew, and not waste all my time competing with 5000 other people all trying to sell the same $35pps signup to the same Asian, ebony or teen site. But he also was strongly against taking the smoking fetish "public," saying I should keep it to myself - he was even against my taking the name MikeSmoke because it might be a hint to someone else.
I finally realized I could serve *both* masters by being the dominant force in the smoking fetish community, and running a separate smoking program with the best content, in the regular adult world. (But his overall advice was right on target; since all of my eggs weren't in the mainstream adult basket, when things started to slow down in 2003-04 or so, I was already doing fine with my smoking stuff and didn't think about hanging myself, like a lot of my friends who were doing exclusively free site/AVS/etc. lol)
