In principle this sounds ok, but this is almost exactly the same as the Mindpixel business model. Once an element of payment is involved (usually with some kind of shares in future profits) participants tend to expect that they're going to be able to realise that value within a relatively short time, like a few years. Inevitably when expectations aren't met things get sticky. ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=95818715-a78a9b Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
