The Road To Riches?
As detailed in the Troubled Times IRC chat logs, there seemed to be a larger profit motive behind ZetaTalk than the casual reader would observe. In these chat logs the participants names have been changed to supposedly guard Troubled Times members privacy. Although, in several chat log areas VIOLA is called Nancy by the chat participants. NORSEMAN could logically refer to Jan Rypdal, or others...

Sloppy editing obviously did not catch the name revealing blunders or the tone of the financial plans, even though these chat logs were not accessible for quite some time.
"VIOLA: I must say, Cosmic knows what he's talking about. Yesterday I
got an offer from a UFO group to do an article. They wanted photos and
information, so I gave them a story about my forehead scar and said I'd
send them a photo. Cosmic has about a zillion MORE ideas on what to do,
and contacted them, leading toward advertising for the book. He saw
opportunity where I didn't, in effect."
"VIOLA: Cosmic, so you're mentally preparing to package TT non-computer,
expecting that there will be a flood of interest and we need to be
READY?

COSMIC: We have to package up info for USA first, as that is where the
seed money is at. With a good financial shot in the arm, we will then
pursue international distribution, translation into other languages
(plus but the book on cassette tape, in several languages for the
blind). That is our plan"
"NORSEMAN: Shadow: it's an idea, and show people the ZetaTalk site?

SHADOW: Your right, ZetaTalk, yes, it will work. In fact, that's all I
have been doing this week, is getting it ready. The phone line will be
connected Tuesday.

NORSEMAN: Shadow: smart.

SHADOW: Then the computer will be connected sometime this week.

VIOLA: Beginning of 1995 we were about 6 folks.

SHADOW: Great way to get the word out and make money, huh."
