Congrats Ken,
I wish you all the best at SP. Nice to see you'll still be kicking around the biz.

There will be new associate editors hired, for sure, but I don't know if any of them are gay or will be canvasing the boards looking for gay news.Quote:

What will happen to GayVN then?Quote:

I guess i haven't followed your career close enough to notice. I mistakenly thought you were a major part of GayVN. Sorry if I offended you.Quote:

Hey Congrats on the move Ken! I hope it brings you much happiness! Specialty will be blessed to have you.
I was completely unaware that these were considered separate entities. :embarassed:Quote:

As you hinted, I would not be surprised of a program opened with you helping to steer it's way to success, with all of the contacts you have made.
I think you job move will release your creative talents. As what you wrote, with several associate editors suddenly moving on... I hope they are as lucky as you.
Hey Ken
Congrats on the new job. The guys over at SP are wonderful. I am sure that you will be happy working with them. What an exciting change for you. :)
Thanx for the nice note. :)Quote:

congrats on the new job , here's wishing you continued success!. :thumbsup:
