Hello Cappysmart.

You’ve given us your satirical interpretation of what I had advocated in my message; that is to say I would approve of a name such as, “Buy Our Shares and We’ll Share the Royalties With You.”

If your satire corresponded to what I had said in my message, I would be more than happy to join in the good fun, even if the laughter were at my own expense.

Until I reread my message, I had a tough time imagining people who read it would come away thinking I would be in favor of the words you’ve chosen.

On the other hand, this very well could be nothing more than a misunderstanding (and I’m to blame for it). Rereading what I said, possibly one word I used—“others”—threw you on the wrong track.

I wrote, “Our business strategy is to get others—in return for a share of the profits—to pay us for the privilege of paying still more money on top of that for doing the exploration and development work (by them for our benefit).”

Had I said “other companies,” I would have made it harder to mistake my meaning. When I used the unadorned word “others,” it didn’t cross my mind that the reader might think I was referring to “investors.”

All I was trying to do was attempt to capture the business logic of Fancamp, which is to get others (companies) to do our work for us (and pay the expense of doing the work and pay us for the privilege of doing it).

The main point of my message was: By making “Resource Portfolio Beneficiary” part of the company name, we would begin to inform prospective investors what we’re offering. Besides that, we would stimulate their interest as well as their curiosity.
