[sdiy] Marketplace Question

“I think the request was actually for 1/2 million, but the point is moot,
since you need a motivated seller and a motivated buyer.”

Folks – please READ

The million figure was in fact (clearly stated) the amount a proposed “Crowdsourced” effort would have to RAISE to pay for a digital version (1/2 million) and compensate me a similar amount (for my 48 year work!), since it was “SO easy” to do [2500 x $400 (current cost willing buyers of EN have paid]. With a then and now total “pledge” of one person offering $100, the point was the silliness of such a crowdfunding attempt. Are these numbers too subtle?

Roman above said it perfectly (thanks):

“I have seen group effort several times in my life. Sometimes even on this list, sometimes I was part of it. None of it worked, it all ended  up in arguing. If it involves more effort than letting your computer  find alien signal in SETI program, group effort is difficult to organize.”
