Good idea. A similar thing happened to me when working with a team in another country. In my case the group were a bunch of good friends.

From my experience, they didnt respect or understand all the work that I had done on my end. And I blame the fact that I was so far away that I didnt realise that this was the case. I also owned a big part of the equity in that relationship.

And similarly it happened just when we were about to sign a big contract.

I however think that Arrington can fix this. Printing this on his website was probably the stupidest thing he could have done w.r.t trying to get the relationship back on track.

i bet the main issue was unrealistic expectations.

But yet they seemed to have been so close. Regardless of those expectations it seems they pulled it off.
