Internet and Business Materials Writings of Mark Joseph Young:  I don't think of myself as much of a businessman; however, I am an executive and director of Valdron Inc, publishers of Multiverser:  The Game, and I've become very involved in web site development and on-line "e-commerce".  Beginning with a contribution to a discussion on another web site and a few pages which discuss Internet law, here are the pages on point.

  Several of these sites have garnered interest from readers.  I would very much like to hear your opinions, as well as what brought you to these.

  This is a sub-index page of the Index to the Writings of Mark Joseph Young, which cover many areas of thought and life, including, law, bible, rpg's, time travel, fiction, and many other subjects.
