So, really, what do you do when only one person there actually matters to the bottom line?

And publishers who had a reputation for paying on time were highly prized (SJG were always excellent).

Glad I have twitter it brings a lot of things to forefront. Heart goes out to them but they seem to be able to hold there own. Quite concerned about The Escapist whether it be shady business practices or they genuinely have no money I do enjoy there weekly videos and comic strips.
