And remember, thare are a few of us who are actually to poor to fund this
on their own. You know how much one night in Moneterrey costs someone
from Namibia?
How many of us are from developing countries?
It is so interesting that his funding question has been asked on the
DNSO.ORG's lists, when K*nt asked me who funded my trip while it is well
documented on the video/audio tape from the Monterrey meeting that I told
him this there. He has never come up with anything but the most vaguest
explanation as to how he manages to fly all over the world on his meagre
salary as a LLNL employee. Goose and Gander.
The forward of Steve Pages piece was the best I have read in a long while.
Though I think that he does K*nt too much credit, he's surely not in a
supervisory position there. He'd be doing actual work duing the day
instead of posting this, ahem, stuff...
