[Asterisk-biz] Investment opportunity for a growth company

[Business Communications Net]

     You know, that was the first thing that came to my mind as well, 
The folks in this community are not stupid,  a lot of them have work
very hard, to get to the point in there life, they are at.  Which I
believe came with a lot of night's of no sleep and bloody fingers from
writhing code.  The nerve of some one thinking they could just waltz in
here, and take all that hard work. To dangle a 100,000.00 caret to folks
that really could use the money. well you are some one that really does
not understand the way this all works.

    You would have done better just to ask, Hey i am not very smart, I
see you have some think here.  I would love to get involved with this
asterisk,  Is there a way i could get involved with a contribution. and
maybe a partnership.  you decide the cost and and the amount of 
ownership i will receive.  This way you would have been up front and
very honest, that is a much better way to start off a relationship, 
The way you started, looks like you are Trying to steal ideas. You act
like the people that you are taking from are stupid. that is not fair
to put any human in that position.

I suggest that you rewrite you letter, and start over, and good luck
with you venture. Keep in mind, treat people like you would like to be
treated your self,
