If their is a company H2 involved i may have to participate....

[Dan]

We are not considering anything in particular yet. That's the point of the group, to brainstorm ideas and maybe implement some of them.

I'll leave the thread open for a few more days so don't expect to jump right in. After everyone has had a chance to reply if they're going to, we'll get a group together in a PM.

[Dan]

Thanks for all of the interest. I'm going to close the invite tomorrow and discuss with the other guys over the weekend. We should have a group and PM ready on Monday.

[Dan]

That's right, no stinkin canucks in this group! Actually, that was a legal thing with the LLC. All members need to be US residents.

Anyway, nothing is going on with the group. It never got off the ground for various reasons.
