We brought @clone1018 on as a second owner in #196. That complicates his life and mine with things like #1222 for little added value now that we're closing up shop. It seems like we should release you again, @clone1018, effective end of 2017 if we can. Thoughts?

Does it matter if you remove me? I was still technically a second owner during the 2017 tax period right?

[chadwhitacre]

It doesn't matter for 2017 but it would matter for 2018 and beyond. It's going to take a year or five to resolve #1220 and #1205.

Members may remove themselves from Gratipay for any reason at any time.

Looks like you're free to say you left Gratipay the day you started, @clone1018, if you want to make your life easier by not having to deal with #1222 #1220 etc.

(In view of the fact that you didn't really take any money last year, only 52¢, and your share of the loss is so small, $38.)

[chadwhitacre]

I guess technically you took 24¢ as a contractor and 28¢ in guaranteed payments as an owner. 😅

@clone1018 and I just talked on the phone, and agreed for him to remove himself from Gratipay effective just after he joined, to avoid entangling him in #1220 #1222 and whatever else arises.

@clone1018 I will let you close this ticket to signal your assent, ya?

You are a pioneer, @clone1018! xoxo
