Well then we just need 400,000 subscribers and Jerry will have 100 M in a year.
Or increase the sub fee to 25,000 / mo. I am a bit surprised by J's approach. Is his time not worth transfering a 50 million check form his foundation to the sentencing project? All of 15 minutes work? He's got the ability to think big -- perhaps from his days with M. I guess he is going after the merv. Clint, bill and google boys crowd. Good luck, but I suggest he might be more successful ramping up to that with a track record. Well best of luck to him. Perhaps changes my view of him a bit -- not that he should care. I guess I will have to send that $50 Mil check somewhere else. ;0 -- In [email protected], "matrixmonitor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > ---good idea but he's looking for 100M.
