Wow! I have heard others with similar stories, but it just has'nt been true in my experience. I will look out, as always.... I do agree that things are not the same in our industry as well, but niether are they in any of the compettitions. I think that is why were getting our a--'s kicked. I wish that all of us with good intentions would use our effort, experience, and knowledge to keep up the glory of the old days, and look forward to a future with possibilities unlike we have ever seen before. (Hopefully good possibilities!) Life is full of chances, I like to take them, always believing that good can happen, instead of fearing the bad that might! Much respect to you I have been burned once or twice myself!
