The lesson from this is clear: When you enter into a collective, you
need to sign (or shake hands over) an "Operating Agreement" that details
what happens when a member enters or leaves the collective, and what
happens when the collective is entirely disbanded. Two common
understandings/clauses would have helped this whole situation: (1) That
decisions to enter into new business opportunities be made unanimously
by current members and (2) when the group disbands beyond a certain
point (like 50%) the group itself shall cease to exist (that is, no
individuals or subsets of the group can ever again claim to be the
group).
Such an agreement would have saved us from having to know that that the
Monkees are currently on tour (http://www.monkees2001.com). I mean,
without Peter and Mike they're not really the Monkees at all, are they?

Aren't "modest proposals" supposed to be satirical? I dunno, this seems
pretty earnest. My ironometer broke back in 1991 so I am incapable of
detecting the difference between irony and earnestness.
