Reply #114: Actually after a bit of thought I think I agree with Armstead

I have personal experience on this. I was once fairly well known in my area. Small fish, small pond but I was in radio with a significant listenership for the area. Anyway, later after I got the old corporate boot from that I started my own mini-production company/ad agency. Long and short of it I used to lock horns on a local webboard with several of my contemporaries and eventually my identity was revealed. A few people took it upon themselves to then smear my name and my family's on that board and in public at any opportunity. They were indeed successful in some respects in hindering the growth of my business. The point I guess is that fame, no matter how large or small your fifteen minutes are, can be a burden as well. In that I completely sympathize with you Will.
