Nathan,

I've decided I'm not going to PayPal you anything unless you decide you'd like to be a hard-working, dedicated, and loyal member of this team. I want a YES or NO answer. We do not have time for people whose only concern is making money this early in the game. If that's all you want out of The Company then I cannot help you. However, if you're interested in building a career and future for yourself and developing innovative products on a TEAM than Chapter Zero is the place to be.

The point is, we are a startup, and whether it's $60 or $600 everyone on board has to take it for the team NOW to be not only successful but well paid and influential in the FUTURE. That's the nature of the beast, and it's not for everyone. So if you want $60 you can go get a part time job at Kroger for the summer because even if you have all the money in the world it doesn't mean you'll ever change it. The ball is in your court.
