Comments re Greg Fahy's additions:
I explored the issue of the amount of money raised with Carlos today.
It's great that the fundraising dinner actually moved some of those who
were there to provide much more than had been raised at the beginning;
but up until the beginning of the dinner, $2000 had been raised, total.

I felt then and feel now that we simply cannot rely on a few generous
individuals --- though again, I'm glad those few came up with even more
after the issues were explained to them.

Greg's research looks very good. My account of it came from my scanty
notes, which I wasn't able to check with Greg; and I didn't want to put
in anything which I wasn't completely sure he had said.

As for the generous individuals: if we have 250 suspension members then
that makes about $60 each, average. Not a large amount.
I hope that people will be more willing to contribute to such research
in the future; we're likely to find many other issues to be solved along
the way.
