hey importguy, i really suggest you stay on the sidelines for a while. i know it's difficult to allow flamers go off without replying, but i think it's in your best interest to just keep your mouth shut. any attorney would probably tell you the same. you may want to consult with him/her before posting on here.
this whole donation thing is getting out of hand. it went from a legal fund, to a personal expenses fund...which really isn't a clear cut difference from a business expense fund since your personal finances are tied to your business. im not an auditor or lawyer or anything, but it seems pretty obvious to me it's not as cut an dry as you hope it to be. sad to say the pussi has a point. just ignore him and let the others fight the dumb battle for you. post only when you have an update to share with us. good luck.
