This may be a bit OT. I was once employed by Raging Bull, assigned to write a daily feature the website called Herd on the Boards.
I had no idea Raging Bull went for that much dough. It also made boy millionaires out of Bill Martin and a third guy who is credited with creating the original website.
As I understand it, David Wetherwell, then the CEO of the infamous CMGI, bankrolled these guys. Lycos later bought the website.
No, that kind of money wasn't and isn't chump change.
He looks at you like you owe him money.
