I get that when it comes to anything related to financial matters, you're particularly sensitive so I apologize for my original headline. I only hope Mary Schapiro and Tim Geithner forgive me as well
I don't think you did understand, you titled the thread Own the Packers. The offering document states through numerous disclaimers in bold type, that it does not give you ownership per se.

It's not a big deal, I'm not upset at anyone here for it. I just don't see the need for the snark and sensitivity - I wouldn't want to perpetuate any misconceptions on this, which could be potentially harmful to someone who thought they were investing $250 when in reality they're just donating it.

More information on the matter.
