No, I've never done a large deal before, but I don't see the flaws. Could
you point them out so they could be corrected?
As far as the TLG-Christer-us communication I really wasn't aware of how the
deal had been set up until I read Todd's post. Given that information, my
suggestion would require a more direct and open contact with TLG. 'Here's
the money... Let's make a deal...' That's not to say they would take it.
Also, I want to make it clear (since I didn't before) I don't want to make
people believe I am trying to set something like this up. I was just
throwing out what IMO is a better suggestion. The suggestion is completely
flexible. Since people are willing to put large sums of money toward a
project like this, I think it would be more successfull if it was expanded
so that more people would want to join in and add to the sum of money that
will be dangled in front of TLG's nose, regardless of whether it's through
Christer or not. In fact I think a direct contact with TLG through the
'front door' would provide a better chance of success. However, I don't
want to rain on the consortium's parade so please feel free to bash me in
the head for bringing this up. I don't want people to 'pull' their money.
Who know's if this consortium deal works maybe we could try a wider spread
next year.
