danielpbarron: does it make sense
to have an escrow service provider sign a contract? or is
this not necessary since he's

that

mircea_popescu: ntry. Within a generation or

the lord money, but
the people of

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: bounce: I've actually always suspected

the profits of
the landed ge
