Bang on! :) But in my defense I haven't had the time to 'promote' my group in
the years that it has been around. On the other hand it may be stark reminder of
the reality: That high IQ people - do not want to do distasteful things (like
business)that may improve their lives.

Personally I don't favor the adventure approach ( but feel free to approach
anyone in this group who may be willing - I don't necessarily want to 'run the
show') especially if it involves a lot of money and time. The reason is briefly
outlined in:

Oh well, when you think of it - isn't my concept kinda out of the box ? How many
people do you know that put 'partners' on a higher priority than the actual
business 'idea'? That's counter intutive to most people. Most people have an
'idea' first - then scramble around for partners.


(btw - I realize that the term 'freethinker' is a misnomer, I made this group
years back without much thought to it's name)
