It seems there's been some conversation about whether Frank might end up screwing the shareholders here. This is a gay company whose future as a viable channel depends for the most part on whether or not the gay community responds by subscribing. I know for a fact that there are a lot of gay shareholders and for the management to intentionally screw us would create a negative wave of sentiment that the company would find difficult if not impossible to overcome. Gay Shareholders Screwed by Gay Management would be a tag that they'd have a lot of trouble living down and for a start-up channel appealing to the gay community for their loyalty, it would be a deal breaker in my opinion. This is not about the usual bb stock crap where the management steals the money and moves on from the ash heap. This is about a company, a viable company that will depend on the good will of the gay community to survive. We don't offer our good will lightly, particularly when there are other places to spend our cash.
I believe Frank as a gay man with years of experience with gay businesses is well aware of this, very aware. I don't believe for a second that he'd act in a way that would destroy our support before we are even able to offer it. And screwing shareholders would do that in spades. On the other hand, treat us fairly and we'll be signing up as subscribers in droves.
I look forward to signing up.
