I think the biggest stumbling block is greed: What will each of us get in return if we give you money today and the company prospers tomorrow? I have three questions for you: One, would it be possible for you to set up an account that we can donate to; two, would you be able to keep track of the percentage that each of us has donated to the fund and post this percentage by username on this board; and three, would you be able to state ahead of time what the cash rewards of such donations will bring if WAMEX is successful (or would this constitute an investment and negate our status as donors)? Thank you in advance, Gregory Olson aka Zarathustra IP: Logged ===== CEO Moderator posted 08-20-2001 02:21 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is indeed a brilliant idea. This could be a unique and history making event. A company, struggling because of continued harassment from the industry, arcane regulations and devious characters, mobilizes the throngs of underprivileged and perpetually disadvantaged investors to rise, like a phoenix, and free themselves from the fetters of oligarchic exploitation! The payoff for everyone involved could be tremendous, and hundreds of millions of dollars could be saved from predatory middlemen and put back into the pockets of those they belong to, the investing public world wide. If you shall reach into your pocket now, to resurrect this dying company, and help me lead it to the path of liberation and investor independence, your historic contribution shall not go unmentioned. I cannot offer nor guarantee compensation, or even restitution of moneys thus contributed. The laws are such that this company should perish and sink into oblivion, were it to shut out everyone who does not qualify according to the rules. But nothing prevents me from telling you that this company shall adamantly reserve the right to recompense all those that have come to its rescue, once it can do so from a position of strength. To help you help us keep track of everything, I could set up a web interface that lets you track the overall progress and your own contribution. Not a single dollar you send us will be forgotten. I have also instructed our staff to establish a sub-account for donations, and I will post the details as soon as this is accomplished. Last time I had a look at our shareholder list, there were about 5000 unique entries. That means that to achieve useful results, based on an assumption of 10% participation, you should give yourself a push and give $1,000 or more. Every additional dollar counts, and shall be accounted for. Additionally, I shall do my utmost to cause our venture capitalist to double with a direct investment every dollar that is contributed. The very fact that you will verse your generous contributions, can give us enormous exposure. Don't let yourselves down! You are the main reason why we still exist, for if it had not been for your trust and support, I would have long ago left this world of crooks and manipulators and reorganized my life around a different activity, rather than sinking significant parts of my net worth into this undertaking. But I felt a sense of obligation, of responsibility, and a firm belief that by doing the right thing by you, you would do the the right thing by your company eventually. This is your chance! Let us rise, together, and erect a company that the world will speak about. Let us change the way investing is done. Let us snatch the undeserved booty of privileged middlemen out of their greedy hands and make this world a better place. A better place to invest. A better place to trade. Give, generously, and may God bless you. ------------------ Safe Harbor Statement: This message may contain certain forward looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities and Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
