well, to be fair, you're absolutely right. Chris asked for comments and you offered them.

However, my skepticism remains. Most of the regular posters here do, in fact, have working websites with compliant 2257 statements. Numerous people have posted (in this thread and in ones some months ago) to say that MWE appears to be a scam.

So when someone pops up that no one's heard of before and offers a glowing account on a company everyone else has called shady or worse, yes, I'm going to do some due diligence before changing my opinion based on the info I've previously received.

I don't have any agenda, and I'd love to be proven wrong. But I find it interesting that as soon as I asked MWE for names of a few studios he was working with that I could ask for references, he stopped responding and in spite of several follow-up emails from me, he still hasn't responded. The same thing happened the last time he contacted me when I asked for sample mailings he'd done and specifics of how customers placed orders since he has no website and no phone number.

As I said in my earlier thread, I'm not saying your company isn't legitimate, only that the combination of MWE's claims (the company isn't even *real* for chrissakes, according to the Florida business filing records I checked), the proximity of their claimed office to your location, and the issues that I raised in the earlier email combine to make a situation that, at first glance, sounds a little too convenient. If I'm wrong, I'll be happy to admit so. I'd just like to see more evidence of legitimacy on the part of MWE.

Oh, and btw... no jealousy. Several of our DVD titles have been nominated for GayVN awards, all of our 21 titles sell quite well at retail through our distributor, and we sell substantially more through them than MWE could ever take, which is, I'm sure, why MWE wanted our titles, precisely because they would sell. And they apparently wanted our titles enough that after they stopped pestering me the first time, they pestered me two other times.
