When we were discussing the monthly subscription plans for funding, I said I hoped the discussion would be made moot. Happily, it seems that may indeed be the case. I agree that these expenditures- after so much emphasis on cost cutting would likely only make sense with an immediate purpose or incentive in mind.  By the way- between the Niton, legal bills for reorganizing and the new survey- we’re again talking about real money. Where is it coming from? It looked like we had about $800 in the bank when last checked. Is it possible someone else is already fronting some of this?
