Do you want to talk this week ?--I'm not certain that you will need me although I'm very interested in participating and helping the process along.
the other thing i bring to the table is starting up companies --getting a clear and concise vision of what it is you want to achieve and the execution of that plan.

I need to understand more clearly what we are attempting to achieve.
I'm not trying to bring this idea down I'm trying to understand it better. passing e mails is a difficult way to make that happen-- but a start.
Regards,
Mark
