Should I pass on a remotely located co-founder?
flashgordon: It really depends, I think.  If you know the person or has a very good recommendation from a friend, then Id test it out.  I am currently working on a friend of a friend (recommended highly by the latter friend) who resides in NZ (I am in sydney).  Comms is a problem.  It is a very new thing but I could really use his presence in Sydney.But I am new to this game, so I cant tell you the otherside of the story.
