It wouldn't even work: to send me a personal mail you must decode the
short address in my .signature, I'm mostly ignoring private mail sent
to my subscription addresses.

Thanks for asking Mark, I didn't follow up on purpose.

Short answer: forget it.

Long answer: I never had the slightest chance, they only wanted to
learn details about my ideas.  My impression was: if I were a yuppie
with a university degree in economics they might have considered to
support me, as things are I have to find another way to raise funds.

I'm too experienced to have revealed vital information; any piece of
paper I took with me carries a copyright notice and I took it with me
when leaving.

'nugh said, I might continue with a long winding rant on the modern
business world of fools who still believe in continuous growth but I
don't want to get bitter and it's OT here.

let's get to things I love to do
  Siggy
