Just goes to show you a lot of the "big boys" are under the radar. There are a LOT of quiet lurkers out htere making bank and cashing checks.

Some of us watch for years.

I realize you were substituting a snide personal remark for a real response, but what the hey...

I started my first business over 30 years ago. I doubt if I had $10K in capital on day one, but sales topped $4 million pa in 7 years. I can't take any credit for what has happened since I sold the business, but I get a kick from knowing it is still going strong. As a division of Securicor, 2002 sales were $650 million.

I have had a couple of failures, but I also got two other startups into 7 figures before retiring because of ill health. I got into this business only as something I could do at home as a solution to terminal boredom.

There was never more than a remote chance that this could be much more than a hobby and for over 3 years now I have been lucky when I'm able to work even half-time. Before things got that bad I hit decent six figures for a couple of years and until early 2001 I still had around 1/4 million visitors moving through my sites every day. Just shows how easy porn was doesn't it?

Next...
