I brought that up to rebut those persons accusing me of distracting the
cooperative from the all-important goal of set up at Peer1, which I think
is highly unfair.  That's all.  I'm not going to pass the hat or demand
consulting fees.  I'm not going to condition my work or future efforts as
a boardmember or co-op member on the passage of any particular initiative
or policy.  However I will say that the major reason I am doing all this
is because we're a cooperative as opposed to merely a profit-seeking
corporation, and as long as I have a say in the matter I'm going to make
sure HCoop behaves like the former and not the latter.  If you don't know
what a cooperative is supposed to be like, a good starting place is
SevenPrinciples on the wiki.
