it's not just the trust thing; it's for when things go wrong. there are many possible slip-ups between california and my house, and i would prefer knowing that if the unpredictable happens, we're all covered, and know where we stand. and US$4000 is a lot of money, for people i don't know; i'm just not that trusting. nor do i expect the others in my group to hand over that sort of cash with no cast-iron assurances _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
