Thanks very much for your reply. I'm glad thats coming across. I'm certainly not an MBA with a game changing idea that I'm 'allowing' someone to work on - quite the opposite. The idea itself is important, but the execution is the critical component. I'm also down with the ultra clean 'as few features as possible' mentality, so I'm looking forward to having a chat with you. Agreed - there are worse situations than being unencumbered and single in Japan.
