Largely because there was no precedent for what I was -- and am -- doing. "Derring-do" is exaggerating it (although I appreciate the compliment). When I think of "derring-do" I think of PHYSICAL jeopardy. <br /><br />Usually the greatest "danger" was financial which proved to be the case with Gerhard, in a "conventional business sense". My accountant thought I was crazy to give Gerhard 40% of the company and Gerhard leaving seemed to validate that. But ONLY in a "conventional business sense". <br /><br />It meant that STRUCTURALLY he needed to be compensated for his participation no matter what he and I thought of each other, personally, by 2006. It was "bad business" on my part but "the right thing to do".<br /><br />Met yesterday with the lawyer who will be putting together my Will setting the foundation for The Cerebus Trust or Cerebus Foundation. Since the intellectual property will be going into the public domain the IP lawyer will be dealing with something unprecedented as well. The lawyer, Tyler H., envisions adopting a "For the benefit of all humanity" as the raison d'etre for the Foundation. Like an "upside down class action suit". You're in whether you want to be or not. <br /><br />Okay, that took thirty minutes to write left-handed. Which is why I don't post here very often.<br /><br />PLEASE support Kickstarter, Patreon and cerebusdownloads.com. We are in the middle of the "crunch time" that never ends, getting things ready for when I'm dead. It's ALL unprecedented and incredibly expensive.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06502294606395720342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-14338132984714881562015-10-28T12:11:59.224-05:002015-10-28T12:11:59.224-05:00Well-phrased, Mara!

Hell, just hiring Ger (and then making him a 40% partner) was the ultimate act of daring-do on Dave's part.Jeff Seilerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543690118315946039noreply@blogger.com
