how must it feel to BE Lensman?
people asking you the same questions over and over again?
cuz lets face it, Im sure almost everybody who talks to him ask the questions like, where is the industry going, whats hot and whats not, the usual shit. then again, what MORE is there to talk about with a big-porn-player?
I like this thread so far

Well it would seem to me like Lensman would enjoy it.
My observations is that Lensman eats, breathes, and would die for his business and the few brief moments I have seen lensman at shows he always seemed stoked (excited) about this industry.
It's like me with tech stuff and hosting issues ... this is what I do ... I love talking about it all day and since I came back into the adult stuff 2 years ago I can truthfully say I have achieved a level of success.
"You'll get out of a project what you put into it." This is so true ... put the work down and the success and money goes down too.
I watch so many people in this business quit ... they expect to make everything work overnight. None of the successful people in this (or any other) business got there overnight.
If you ask most of them they started out with 1 sale a week then 2 then 3 and it just grew as they stuck with it.
And those that stuck with it and built empires still work as hard everyday as when they were building thier empire.
I am not where I want to be yet. But I am where I expected to be when I told my last corporate boss where he can shove his mainframe. And I continue to grow everyday.
I'll get flamed for this but really I don't care .... to me I look up to people like:
Tev
Dokk
Brad @ Sinhost
Lightning Free
Freenetpass Dave
Lensman
Steve Lightspeed
Rochard Lightspeed
Localg
12clicks
sleazydream
And many others these are people who have worked hard to get where they are. Nothing was handed to them. And these people everyday try to help those of us still in the trenches working our way out. They have never turned anybody away that has been polite to them and asked for help.
Then you have other people that was handed everything on a silver platter. Thier parents helped get them started handed them fat cash and did everything they asked for only to lose it all through mismanagement. The reasons for that? They didn't have to work for the success in the first place. Typical example of this happened this week with like whoa.
Ok enough of my ranting.
