As Andrew Mason has regularly spoken of how The Point was a place for people to join in the support of causes, I find it doubtful that the idea was 'get someone to give me a bunch of money'.<p>My understanding that he was working on bringing people together to solve societal (I guess we can't use the world social anymore) problems.<p>This 'napkin' is pretty much the opposite of that from what I see.
