Cant say I disagree Joe...your right...but I am afraid we have to realize those days are forever gone...whether we like it or not.

Take some satisfaction in knowing that that "closed door", "we really don't care", and "we don't need you", kind of attitude has led us down the road we are now on, and has led to, what will in the near future, eventually be the downfall of the stuffed shirts of the old industry here. I don't feel sorry for anyone involved in it. They created a monster by trying to control every facet of the industry, and made the bed they are now lying in.

With that being said I admire the fact that you could have just quit, and I know that feeling too, but you made a decision to adjust, and move on, and that in itself is commendable. I don't know, sometimes I think I am just too stubborn to give it up, but I still feel I have something to offer, and more than that, I love what I do, so I keep on keeping on.

Hang in there bud, lightening strikes in strange places, and as long as we still have a dream, life is worth living.
