I consider those three as three of most productive, proactive, people I've ever dealt with online -- and all ridiculously easy to work with.

Shap said he didn't want to 'get the band back together'. LOL But you are right, he would kill it if he did what you suggest.

While I like the positivity, your message implies that people should stick with trying to make their one site/product as big as they possibly can instead of expanding the network

Some sites, when they reach 'mega-status', can sustain a longer period of drought even if their traffic diminishes. But eventually they too will lose sales if traffic continues to drop.
But basically yes, most normal sites (sites earning under, say, $1 million a year in revenue) will reach a certain level and remain within 10% of that level almost forever. LOL This is INSANELY frustrating for those people that run a single site (especially amateurs and solo girls). They find that taking their site 'to the next level' means either endless more hours of effort (with little results) and/or doing things they really don't want to do (types of shoots, more exposure, perhaps even blackhat methods). For those people, like husband-and-wife teams, it's almost best to start another site instead of banging their heads against a wall (unless head banging is the niche, heh).
