Barry posted here that he had spoken with Jeri Ellsworth.
I'm not going to claim that is the connection of which he speaks, but Jeri had some success in marketing with QVC.
Is something along those lines possible?

Of course it's possible but AFAIK nobody at CUSA or their fanbase have said anything about QVS or similar. I have read that there is a brick & mortar big box store who will be getting the first orders, but no word on which store that is. My guess is Best Buy, which is probably the biggest consumer electronics big box in Florida - this would make it a natural choice for Barry.

Why in God's name would a company be giving financial/sales numbers to a "supporter" they met on the internet that now moderates their forums (Dammy)?


Or to people who just randomly call up on the phone:

Mr. Altman patiently answered them all, passionately divulging information without seeming to care whether I was a reporter for network television news, or just a crazed fan.
