I said it isn't as simple as Bob saying I want to pay Sue to work on this widget and having TPF broker the deal. I won't pretend to understand all the intricacies. I said it is frustrating, as someone willing to donate money, that I can't just say give it to Sue please. > case).

Those grants are getting things done (thanks for the progress on the PDDs Al). I am in no way suggesting that people not donate to TPF. I have in the past and I might in the future. I also help them out in other ways, by writing code for small projects that they need done. I am only suggesting that, for the specific purposes of this thread, going the TPF route may not be the most efficient way to accomplish that goal. Cheers, Joshua Gatcomb a.k.a. Limbic~Region
