"I simply want to do for MER what Michael Light did for Apollo. Nothing more. I dont have plans to do something for Phoenix..I dont have plans to do something with MEX, I dont have any plans at all - just a desire to see MER put on paper with the care and attention to detail it deserves"

Minimally, Doug my guess is that you don't intend to print your MER books out of pocket and then give them away. I also guess that you think there will be enough customers out there to buy your book.

I would suggest that this constitutes a "business plan" as it is known here in the states, but then I am also pretty certain that you would find this crass. What is amusing to me here is the current upper crust Brit disdain for anything so pedestrian and tawdry as business and money. I think this affectation is more reflective of the legacy of the British class structure than of anything else. Here I am reminded of the classic Monty Python line, "After 5 years, they give me a brush"

Well, Doug, here's wishing you the best of luck to you on both of your ventures.

Good luck,
