I do know that soley as a result of my actions you= personal bottom line has increased dramatica=ly, if you had thought of me as your partner in this endeavor , instead of an employee, i think your reaction to sharing t benefits would be different. If you recall, you wanted me to be prid , unlike others at the END of my work. we discussed this ad nauseum, =AO and agreed OCT 15, last year was the end . You had wanted more comf=rt initially on the art partnership so that date was delayed.

Im not sure why it =s different in your mind. but i respect the fact that it is, Is it because their=20 work seems harder. it cannot be simply because they=devote more time to you .or it appears to involve more effort.

I am also happy to move on and have no more of these emails. =1 find them as tedious as you do . if you prefer a partnership structure , =k with me, I tried to minimize the amount of money i would recieve by=20 making it a flat fee . as i wanted you to feel good and have no second thoguths somehow if the payment comes from a partnership struc=ure you seem relaxed as opposed to writing a check, I focus on =AO trust and friendship first, and the fact that you don't include josh and mark in=20 that category, gives me great pause .
