Alot of people read this board and dont post here. You never know who you are being pompous in front of.
People like us are good for the industry and you are going to drive some of us away .

If you really want to be Good for the Industry like you claim then do something in it and work from the inside insted of just visiting your local fair once a year and a few shopping centers with a Carnival to take pictures of the Bright Lights and whatnot....Guys like Pinetar and myself ask the hard questions and when we do some guys get thier panties in a bunch and take offence....
Pizzagod said it right :
"I don't jump on the "You're just a fan" bandwagon, but-no matter how big of a follower of the business you are, you're perspective won't be the same as somebody who depends on these events to put bread on the table."
Alot of guys here can't answer the questions we ask...
Here's a good example:
I've been in close proximity to the midway there are people standing in front of games and facing the games and playing the games.People Facing the Games? How many guys seen a Rabbit joint with a bunch of people around the thing looking at the rabbits while maybe one or two people at most are playing? Sure the joint
looks busy, but really is'nt. Same goes for a Mirror or Poster Joint. Got people looking at all the Girly Pics but nobody really playing...
Then again the people playing the Games could just be the help gambling away their Draw money....How many of ya done best of 10 for a buck a point when there is nothing going on?
Kinda reminds me of a time when a committee guy thought the rides were busy because there was a line on the Loop-o-Plane...
