As Andrew Mason has regularly spoken of how The Point was a place for people to join in the support of causes, I find it doubtful that the idea was 'get someone to give me a bunch of money'.

My understanding that he was working on bringing people together to solve societal (I guess we can't use the world social anymore) problems.

This 'napkin' is pretty much the opposite of that from what I see.
