I will do some searching but what is a 'Go' program?

I played with thinkfast for a while but would really like to see some scientfic or nearly scientific study on it's effects on other activities or test performance even.

There are so many programs and methodologies out there. It would be very expensive to determine for ones self what works and what doesn't.

The fact that Win has most of his techniques posted on the web and is not trying to turn a dime has always given me a sense of 'legitimacy'. Additionally, after having met when several years ago, I can say that he doesn't have an ounce of 'con-man' about him. A 1st class individual.

The issue I keep coming back to is "How can all this stuff be used to really help me?" Should I go back to school, should I concentrate on my lockwork? Sometimes having a lot of tools doesn't make a job easier and at times can make it more time consuming...many mechanics out there will know what I mean.

Can we start a 'think-tank' that is paid to solve problems? I remember seeing a show on a company called 'America First' or something to that effect that was just basically an outfit that 'experts' called when they needed an outside opinion or solution.

These forums have drawn us together, the internet is a great medium both for conferring with each other as well as a means of advertising and recieving business.

What is really left is the details of an agreement on how to distribute and revenue. My first thought is to pay everyone something. If we get paid a 100 dollars to solve some design problem, there will probably be a few key people who were most intimately involved but may not have gotten a chance to do the work except that they were part of our 'Think-Tank' whereas someone may have signed up but not participated in anything since they joined. It's hard even in principal to pay them.

Lets put this idea to the test, how can we organize this to fairly compensate participants in the spirit of 'enlightened self interest' and 'meritocracy'. How can we promote this service and bring more people into to make it more powerful?
