I agree. The only issue I had with it is that it returns records in an array instead of a Rowset object like Zend Framework. But it contains much less of the verbosity than Zend and is much easier to use and separates things like validati

It's a shame. I visited Caracas and Isla de Margarita for about a week 10 years ago. It's a very beautiful place and the people I met were very friendly. I hope the situation improves. Would love to visit again!

I would dive in deeper as to why MP wants to give away equity so easily especially if he has made millions. If he really believes the business can sell for 9 figures in a few years the extra 100k that he would pay you would be a steal. Mayb
