FINALLY, I'm following up - (edit: final update)

10. Well...

I did edit to include a condensed summary, per your suggestion:

What I am proposing (for those who want this condensed) is a member-owned cooperative, similar to mutual aid societies of old, which not only connects those who need help to those who can help, and so much more, but also creates jobs. What I'm specifically asking here is, of those for whom $150 is not a huge sum, would you be interested in helping to finance the seed funding so I can hire help in order to move forward?

This is such a big vision, with a long, proven history now, that twitter-esque summaries or the proverbial elevator pitch doesn't work. I've found over the last decade that, for those who will truly resonate, they'll take the time to read, even if they -- like me and likely you and others -- are severely pressed for time.
