DeWayne, I appreciate your compliments, and I really don't want to get into a pissing contest.

All of the major producers know each other. They share a lot of information with each other that they don't share with bloggers and random people who have "been around."

Scouts, porn consumers, wanna-be industry people and various others widely spread misinformation which confuses the situation and often ends up in models not getting opportunities at all.

You didn't state "here's the middle of the range", you said "Pay runs from $750 to 1500." And I'm not saying that no one is paid that, nor accusing you of lying. I'm saying there are many studios that pay less, and many that pay more, and if you're stating that range as *the* range, you're wrong. Of course, now that you've been called on it, you're backing down. I'm just suggesting that speaking in absolutes is rarely a good idea.

As for the Hyde Park situation, I'd be the last one to sweep it under the rug. If a studio is doing something unethical, as I and many others have said in this thread, it damages the industry as a whole. When we don't police ourselves as an industry, we all suffer.

I was also pretty quick to point out that Kyle's situation was really uncool and inappropriate. So saying I want to sweep the situation under the rug is not really accurate.
