I did not shut down redsnake because "I had wanted out of it for months." It's true that I don't go to TJ anymore (last trip was Dec. 1999), but the info on Costa Rica, Singapore and Thailand, etc. was more than enough to keep it interesting. All the infighting that developed out of the Lakers' issues, and the resulting daily email traffic, took up more time that I had to spend on the site, and in a topic area that I had no real current interest in. That situation was more the catalyst to finally pull out and let someone else carry the torch for a while (and TJHombre is doing a great job here) than the sole reason for shutting down Redsnake. More than 1200 registrants also made basic maintanence more time consuming as time went by, which was a factor. Seeing the saga continue here is just more evidence that it's nearly impossible to stop arguments between people who are hell bent on carrying on with them ad nauseum. I just got back from a short trip to Paris, and French pussy is EXPENSIVE, but très bon. At the Hilton near Charles DeGaulle airport there were a couple of girls working the bar. They are very inconspicious and it took a while (like the second night there!) to realize they were in fact hookers. Prices were in the $300-400 range for one hour depending on what went on, but no rush and both of the girls in this particular hotel were 8-9... table grade stuff. Also found a "street girl" in the restaurant section near St. Michel (near Notre Dame cathedral). Very clean and well dressed, and again difficult to spot as a hooker. She evidently spotted me as a potential customer and asked if my hotel was near a metro stop (she spoke good English... I speak very little French). She was $300 for a full hour, and in the 7-8 range with great legs and ass. Club girls, I was told, also went for $300/hr if you bought a ridiculously expensive bottle of champagne. Not a budget place to go for girls, obviously, but if you're in Paris on business or vacation and don't mind Vegas-like prices the French version of fake moaning is really fun to hear.
