Love the ideas and enthusiasm. Remember contributing is as easy as this
(written mostly for example):
The Scam of High Finance
- Banks packaged junk loans and gave them the highest rating possible

That was awful. Hopefully you get the point. Please do better. :)
Also re: Rachel's email - nice! Stoked we have some designers on here.
