I current have one person interested besides myself, so I guess it makes
you the third person supporting it.
You are correct it takes a lot work, and also requires a professional
like an accountant or lawyer to do it right. Since I am not none of
those, I will just keep it track for those that support this, and maybe
when I have a "groundswell" we will move forward. Right now three people
is hardly a groundswell.
Cheers !
Marcos.

to
complete this, I say go for it.. It is a lot of work and we must have
Articles of Incorporation written..
