Hello Everyone. This is my first post here, so please forgive me if I violate some etiquette or otherwise screw something up. Although it's the first time I've posted, I've been reading the ADT forums for a while now. I don't post on forums often, as things can get pretty critical at times and I'm sensitve to that. But I wanted to say a quick thanks to all of you on ADT for making this such a unique and informative place. I know this probably isn't the first time that someone has said this, and it won't be the last, but the number of adult video producers, directors, and performers who post here is really fantastic. To those people in particular I wanted to say thanks for being here. I understand that it takes quite a bit of courage, and a willingness to accept a fair amount of criticism to post here, to answer questions and to ask for opinions. Your very presence here, however, acknowledges that your audience (we consumers of adult material) is an intelligent and valid part of your business, and has something useful to say. This not only helps you to get feedback on the videos you produce, but also helps us feel like a part of the process. At the risk of sounding rediculous, there's something to be said for that in any business, and especially one where the product is entertainment that, at its best, explores such a complex, personal, and human topic. Although I know a lot of people may consider this just "jack off material" (and it certainly is that), I know that to you all it's your business and in some cases there's passion and meaning behind it. In short, thanks for being here, and thanks for listening. It means alot to me--and I imagine all of us here. I don't mean to speak for everyone, but I do speak for myself. Just a couple of notes for some individual people--

Tricia Devereaux-- You're active on the forum, represent your studio extremely well and render your opinions with care, intelligence and a clear interest in taking the high road. Your contributions to the forum are innumerable. Thanks for caring about your audience and your fans so much. As most people here continually state, Evil Angel is a great company, and I'm sure that's in no small part due to you.

Patrick Collins -- Freakin'... Big Bottom Sadie. What a great feature. I don't remember enjoying a feature that much since John Stagliano's Wild Goose Chase. Not to compare the two, of course. Anyway, I really loved it. Can't go wrong with Jenna Haze. Anyway, Elegant Angel has been putting out some really great stuff recently, I think. Thanks for Mason. I love her stuff and I look forward to more. And please don't ever give up on your philosophy about showing female orgasms. I'll never understand why some porn companies save those for the outtakes...

Mason -- I'll say it again, _I_ think You have a lot of guts putting a poll question like that out there. Thanks for sparking a fascinating discussion on the forum, and thanks for telling us what YOU think. Thanks also for Dirty Trixxx--really enjoyed that one.

Again, I know I'm "new", but to all of you at ADT, thanks for making it such a great place.
