Heh.. Maybe I could pay some bills with those promises too. <g>
Don't misunderstand... I'll gladly take a portion in stock but first I want to see just how serious folks are. Ever hear of a "reverse stock split"? I had some 30,000 shares in one company be reduced to just under 200 by a 15x1 (30,000 --> 2000) and then a 10x1 (2,000 --> 200) reverse split. Bunch of greedy so & so's. All the technical folks who designed, built & proved the technology essentially got shown the door. At least I survived with my character. < s >
Best,
DD
