Which sort of leads me to a question, although one that I don't really expect you to answer very specifically, LOL.
What job do you do? (even in general vague terms)
You are obviously very involved in the business end of things, but you also seem to have very strong technical knowledge that one might expect many "higher-uppers" to not have.
Anyway, I don't really expect an exact answer, I guess I'm just thinking aloud.
Hah!
Well, I think that Amir revealed my profession during the format war……i.e., I belong to the Make-Up branch of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, or was I supposed to be a hair stylist?

For the closest you will ever come to learning how “higher-up” I am, I shall quote what the paidgeek asked me a few years ago, as he still lurks on this thread from time to time and this recollection should provide him a little chuckle………..

Paidgeek --“So, Penton, you don’t care to mingle with anyone below the Vice Presidential level.”
Penton -- ”Not really, as it has proven to be a waste of time when I can go directly to the top for answers.”

For, the closest you will ever get to seeing who I am……..at the 2007 Grammy Awards show, Gnarls Barkley slipped and nearly fell into my lap while stepping off the first stage and moving to the second ……..
