Only one (slight, I hope) hindrance, and that is time. I work, too, though 'retirement' is imminent. A friend of mine, Steve Nieman, is preparing to change his aircraft-ownership "co-op" to an LLC along the lines of Chris' suggestions. I will team up with Steve to do a 'two-fer'. I'll predict that it will take several months to get the MMM LLC part done.
I propose to make it a Washington state corporation as a starting point. If that makes things difficult in any way for potential European participants, we can look into a separate organization there.
The book cover part intrigues me, too - reminds me of the cover art for many of the 'underground' newspapers of the late '60s. In Austin we published The Rag, and a sometimes-ex-pat-in-France named Jim Franklin specialized in an armadillo motif. Great fun. paul spencer
I'll buy this round, if you like.
A basic idea (if I've understood correctly, big IF as always) is that "value" is the starting point, and assuming Chris agrees to becoming a member--do we have to sign documents? Is it wise to (also) incorporate MMM as an LLP in the UK? I am so new to all this--I suggest that rather than sending small money orders around (shall we say small = less than about fifty dollars/euros/pounds?), the "missing amounts" can be used as starting credits for the "new credits" part of the system? I therefore will owe you and Chris (and anyone else who fronts money-cash) X credits (need to tie those credits to something...Chris...this is where I see all the diagrams slowly turning into...decisions...actions...), or rather: you and Chris are crediting me with X credits to, I dunno, create a first book?
Only one (slight, I hope) hindrance, and that is time.
At this point I think I am asking for a large(r) chunk of Chris's time (though I see benefits for him as well...heh...as Mandy Rice Davies said, "Well, he would, wouldn't he?", though the painting I've done must be worth something...)
Maybe I just continue to write strange diaries and that's okay for now?
What you say, senor Cook? You like my painting?
So Paul: yes!
Or as Fran put it:
Here's another painting (not by me of course.)
Don't fight forces, use them R. Buckminster Fuller.
Great drawing. paul spencer
