> From: Doug Orleans <dougorleans@xxxxxxxxx> > So why do you need their permission to give them money? Dude, seriously? THEY DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT. Re-read the quote in my past post. They said no. Now, I could put it out myself, accrue profit, and then mail a check to them periodically... but WTF should I waste my time and postage on that if they don't want to invest a few hours reviewing the book (to be sure it's all copacetic for their business) and setting up the POD listing for the book themselves? I guess it's a love-versus-pride thing: I'm happy to help, if there's some give and take. But I'm not going to sign up for a part-time job (even if its only a few minutes a month) when the principle beneficiary of my efforts won't even put in a fraction of the time that I am investing, to get the product to market. And as I said to James... be my guest, if you'd like to take the reins. David
