Yes but the Bold Step of the programmer committed to Free Software is 
against all confidentiality
and exclusiveness, to shake the very fabric of social norms. Such Bold 
Step shall never be regretted
by those noble individuals that undertake it.

Good. We have confidence, but we always welcome finance for the 
revolution.

My Colleagues are top producers of quality code, to free musicians from 
the slavery of
false scarcity (LAD). Though I realize I SHOULD USE CAPITALIZATION MORE 
OFTEN
TO MIMIC CAPITALISTS.

Cool. Can you PayPal us the sum? We'll split it and use it wisely in 
the pursuit of the most noble
of causes, the muse should not require payment.

Right, transparent honesty.

Dude. First it's 25% now 20%. I got another email the other day 
offering 30%, perhaps
we need to move this to eBay. And you're so behind the times compared 
to your
colleagues. They're offering nubile accountants (the utmost desire of 
wealthy Americans).

I'm not sure how to urgently respond "through your email" I think this 
probably hurts
your chance of snaring idiots. But if you send me a dollar I can 
guarantee your transport
to a wicked part of Texass where former Nigerian officials are treated 
with the utmost
senility.

(No, I'm not from Texass, I just had to move here for a job. I'd rather 
be in Portland, OR)

If I give you my account number for my mortgage would that work?
