Yes, but my point was that none of the helpers complained about it, so there
was no need to increase the amount that the helpers were 'paid'.

Would it be too much to ask helpers to read a short contact agreement
stating that they are only receiving a free account in exchange for their
work? Presumably this applies to any immortals you have as well.

As for the OSI lawsuit and the helpers losing their items, I believe the
counter-argument was that it was accidental.
