people seem to agree with people when they are in a good mood, its human nature.. difficult for the affiliate to say NO to you in person, so he just says yes, and he never follows through...

the only guys i see making good deals are probably hosting companies like mojo, and maybe one or two top affiliate companies, the rest of the people: their bank accounts will be the same this year, with or without the show
Normally, I think you would be on target, but the seriousness of the show this year was higher than I've ever seen, much more focus on actual business than booze, hookers, blow, parties, etc.
