I can't help but see a contradiction here. You say GFY no longer has pull as a webmasters/business board and then post a business thread. Anyone else see the irony?

But here's a thought, for Vegas and Internext at the same time as the CES. Next year it will not be, but how long before it is again and this side of porn adopts the AVN approach. A day for the professionals and the rest for the general public?
Seems strange to me that shows aimed mainly at consumers going into a porn shop open their doors to everyone and the part of the industry aimed at anyone with am Internet connection, and badly in need of establishing consumer trust, closes it's doors to them.
We do everything we can to bombard surfers, yet when we have a trade show keep them out as if we do not want to meet them.
