Hi Lawrence,

First of all, let me personally welcome you to the gay Asian marketplace as well.

This is a very small niche, and I can totally understand Tom's concerns and protectiveness of it. It's not just a matter of money for us, but also a matter of love. We really care about protecting our models, care about producing quality content, and care about the safety and security of everyone involved in what we do. As we've posted in previous threads, shooting porn is illegal in Asia...especially Thailand...so it does seem irresponsible if you are in fact naming photographers, bars and boys....that makes it more dangerous for us all.

Also, I think it may be a bit of 'stepping on toes' to be a new site and say you are the 'best gay Asian site' as you do in your signature. You may want to reconsider that.

Finally, I could not help but notice that your site looks quite similar to the tour of our site, www.gayasianams.com. I'm not sure if that was intentional, and if it was, well, imitation is the highest form of flattery.

I hope you don't think I'm coming off as nasty. I think Tom and I, although competitors, share the common goal of wanting to keep ourselves and the gay Asian niche protected.
