    If a legal document is part of it, then we're not talking about $2K any more. It costs $ to draw it up and get it right. And it implies commitment beyond $2K + costs to draw up. There is only a point to a legal document if you are prepared to back it with legal adjudication and enforcement in the event it becomes necessary. And I feel safe to say that is not what what anyone had in mind when this audacious venture was undertaken.

    I understand reluctance or caution at this step. All of me fundamentally cries out "#$^%# it, just pay it and be done with it", but life experience says "here there be dragons". Not in the sense that any personality is necessarily a dragon; just in the sense that events and feelings are at an ominous stage. I'm talking out of control.

    I can envision years down the road a situation like Facebook had with the Winklevoss twins. Barbarras could surface again years later claiming NCommander "stole" his idea while the $2k payment was only for recoupment of the startup costs.
