I'd like to say simply that I actually agree with what martin says about the company itself. My point was that I'm more in favour of the viral stuff because instead of being an endeavor that only employs internal corpo's that get it really wrong in the end (that old guard), this new model has to, at some point, drop cash to those a bit closer to home (because they're too far removed to do it themselves and they've finally realized that). Plus it's not as insulting. It's like if I was a girl, and a dude gave me a box of funky licorice from the dollar store and said, "lets fxck later". He'd go flat. But if you come with my favorite choc's and said "I'd love to make you breakfast" it'd go over a bit better. Even though every chick knows you're really saying the same thing, class and attention to your interests are appreciated. I'd argue moreso when they don't align with your own interests at all (it FEELS more selfless). I guess what I'm saying is, it's nice to see the corpos executing things with a bit more class, even if they're the same inside. And even if they don't care about theo, I do, and that's got to count for something (I know, that's exactly why they did it). But I do agree wholeheartedly about the non-entity and their ultimate aim.

I wasn't suggesting anyone lives in a bubble but if you believe that some director at any PLC knows what's happening at street level you're deluded - as I said, they pay people for that. > > > someone at some level along the production of this project has tons > of love > for Theo - that's how he got there > boardrooms aren't usually where these decisions get made anyway Yeah of course, keep telling yourself that. m
