Could he leave them alone for a while and still remain really profitable for a decent period of time? I don't know for sure. I'd love to have the chance to ask him that myself! My thoughts are yes, he would be okay if he let things sit for a while. I don't think you have to be number one to be a success. This is a game like horse shoes. Close counts! ;)

I understand what you're saying. I mean it's all speculation as to how well he's doing. I'm sure it's by all standards pretty good. That's the shame of it all. Sleazy obviously does know quite a bit about this business. He is successful and would probably be a great source of knowledge if he was so inclined. It's somewhat tarnished by the very elite attitude he attempts to pull off here. Think about Rick Latona, Lensman, Paolo, Quiet, The Hun, etc ... These are some pretty successful people. It's also pretty rare that you'd find one of them randomly calling people they know nothing about idiots. I would consider them to be "elite" because of what they've accomplished, how they've accomplished it and how they conduct themselves not because they've forced down my throat how great they are.
