I thought of this the night between tuesday and wednesday.
I was (on paper) experiementing with diff ideas of making our money work for us - none of it looked as it would be very attractive to anyone (had a lot of notes) - so I 'gave up' on it for the day and went to bed.
Couldnt sleep (still tossing ideas around in my head) - and around 3 or 4AM this little perl stood out - and I was actually so 'excited' about it, that I got up and wrote the above (ref: The BIG Deal
Thats the 'account of the birth' of The BIG Deal, as told on BIG's internal com channels ("I" beeing yours truly)
From nothing but an idea in my head, concieved during the middle of the night some 6 months ago, The BIG Deal has since grown to a multi-billion business venture involving individuals and corporations from all over the EVE universe.
It's with great pride I'm able to announce that The BIG Deal has sold share #100.
That if anything underscores that it's possible to come up with succesful mutual beneficial business ventures.
The mutual beneficial nature of The BIG Deal surely accounts for the fact that it is still around and growing and growing and growing - And hasnt like many others, been washed away by history as "Nice Idea - But not nice enough to endure"
However a 'Nice idea' The BIG Deal is, it would never have been nothing but just that "a nice idea", if it hadnt been for the trust the shareholders have put in BIG.
You don't just hand anyone hundreds of millions of your ISK without any other guarantee than "You have my word" unless you truly trust them.
For the trust people and corporations across the EVE universe has in BIG I wish to thank all the BIGuns - past and present, for without their words and actions across the EVE universe, building a reputation for BIG as beeing trustworthy and always true to our word, none of this would have been possible in the first place.
It's this reputation that allows us to "Always think BIG"
As mentioned The BIG Deal is a mutual beneficail business venture, from wich BIG also have profited, but to tell the truth, what really makes all the work involved worth it for me personally is getting mails like this

Hi TS,
As discussed in <snip>, I'd like to switch the [corpname] pickup person from me to [name]. He will also be the new CEO when I leave <snip> in approx 2 weeks.
Thanks a lot for all of the help you've given me and our corp during the past 6 months or so. Without you, we wouldn't be anywhere near what we are right now.
Take care,
BK

I've been in BIG for many months now, and if there is one thing that I believe I am most proud of, is the reputation we have among the community. BIG is the #8 most trusted and respectable corporations in the galaxy. I'm so proud to see our name on that list, it almost brings a tear to my eye. And i'm pround most of all, to be a part of somthing BIG.
I think most of all I'd like to thank TornSoul for making BIG what it is today, he's worked so hard to make BIG what it is today, and sets an example that any corp can follow and succede with.
I, and all of my corp mates, are proud to be BIG.
*Raises his can of Quafe to TS*
Mad props!

@Omni
Guess I should say something naughty to you for that little 'trick' - But I cant - It gave me a good grin 
To everyone else  - Thanks for the kind words.
As my post probably shows - I *am* pretty damn proud of how The BIG Deal has turned out
And making that list as #8 - Well.. I'm speechless really...
