'AVN feels there is no place for choking in porn'.
     05/15/2005 email from Tim Connelly.
       Still waiting on the article that Mark Kernes is writing             
       on this subject. Was not in this month's magazine.                   
       How long does it take for AVN to print their position?
       Why doesn't AVN have a forum at AEE 2006 on choking?

Today it was announced that Tim Connelly is undergoing rehab for            
     an apparent drug problem. I have had my disagreements with Tim         
     in the past. I wish him a speedy recovery and back to full             
     health as soon as possible.

Reviews:
     AVN no longer shows boxcovers with hardcore pictures
       on the front. Just puts the name of the Studio on.
       Good idea, I have been against this for years!
       (Oops, some of the gay ads are hardcore).
     AVN continues to run 15 reviews to a page that consist of:
       Boxcover.
       Title.
       Studio.
       2 Female stars.
       1 Synosis sentence.
       Rating.
       Extras.
         How anyone could make a 'buy' or 'rent' decision based
         on this is beyond me?
         And, don't forget, most of these reviews are 2-3
         months old!

Suggestions:
  1> Have a forum on choking at AEE 2006.
  2> AVN publish it's position on choking.
  3> Drop all reviews except the Editor's Choice and publish
     all reviews daily on avn.com
       This will free up space in the magazine for more ads
       and will eliminate the time delay.
       (Magazines are a thing of the past, use the internet!).
