spent the evening chatting with an nypd cop, resolving some of my long term misgivings.  he's the brother of my x girlfriend's sister's boyfriend.  life...

here's what i see, personally:

1. we have an awesome community.  eedg investors ARE a family.

3. we have the due dilligence we share with each other.
