But-to David my question is can this be realistically done, so that many more could come forth and make pledges? Also, how long would Venturists really want to be collecting and have this on their yearly financials? Who would front the money at William's de-animation, Venturists? It is my understanding that CI is not able to take any sort of "I.O.U."... ____________ Here's a possibility. Perhaps there are some potential donors who would be willing to commit (say) for $100/year for ten years, total $1,000. In return for a promissory note to that effect (zero interest), I would put up the $1,000 now, to a maximum of $10,000.
