I wanted to post regarding the sale of Twistys - and I hope Dean doesn't mind me jumping in the back end of his thread.

I worked for Shap for three years -- and it was an incredible experience. Shap and Beth hired me to be a kind of all round production guy -- with no real job description. There were a couple of times early on in my career in porn that Shap would have been well within his right to fire me, but he preferred to stick with me and train me up so that I became stronger and better. He had no problems with my fuck-ups (and they were considerable) -- he just warned me to learn from them and to make progress. After the job with no real description kinda went sideways Shap moved me into the affiliate management role working with Kevin. Being in the same room as Michael, Kevin and Shap -- and hearing their ideas and passion for the internet really served as an inspiration to me. With Michael's and Shap's guidance and support I became the best I could -- and feel that I made a solid contribution to Twistys as well as developing a masters understanding of online relationship building and using the web as a money making medium. After leaving Twistys I have gone on the become the lead strategist for a digital agency working with iconic brands -- sitting in boardrooms handling multi-million dollar marketing budgets with MBAs and the elite of the Canadian marketing world.

None of this would have been possible if it were not for Twistys and Shap -- thank you very, very much

Shap gave me a bit of advice once (well, he told anyone who would listen). He said you can come to work and put your iPod on and just do your job, but you will miss out on all the discussions, and ideas -- if you are wearing your iPod you will not be able to contribute and will not be able to have your ideas heard. Sage advice!

Thanks again Shap
