Agreed. I was just commenting on that part of it. You can be great at marketing strategy, traffic management, etc but you still need the ability to communicate clearly and calmly. Of course, it goes the other way too. As we have all seen over the years with the folks who can charm most people but don't know the game itself very well.

The other thing is that what exactly an affiliate manager does at a company varies wildly. At some places you may be a glorified PR person and at others you are near enough running the whole show.
