There has to be a project, not just a charity cause.chatdemonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556014933064003125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-55511767228689082802017-03-28T19:53:42.471-04:002017-03-28T19:53:42.471-04:002e is post Gary, so that isn't going to happen...2e is post Gary, so that isn't going to happen.<br /><br />As for the OBS PDFs, I don't think they are funneling monies to the Fund at all, but I could be mistaken.

Maybe, offer another one or two restored/updated/upgraded 1e and or 2e modules as well.PyroArrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01606091730109420412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-91219403755448731492017-03-28T17:47:46.388-04:002017-03-28T17:47:46.388-04:00I want to know what's going on.

The last we saw the money hadn't seemed to have been invested in anything and looked to be sitting in a non-interest bearing account (2015 tax return). So keep in mind that, if the money has finally been invested to bring in dividends that the bank accounts would certainly seem to be much lower. The market hasn't been so volatile that I'd believe that the money would have been invested and lost and this is just *if* the money is no longer where it was.<br /><br />I honestly do not believe that anyone involved with the fund simply drained the funds. That seems, to me, wholly out of character and this is coming from a pretty big skeptic about the fund's ability to move forward. The whole thing, on the surface, appears to have stagnated with no money coming in.<br /><br />I agree though, Alex would be a great spokesperson for the fund. He's active, wants to get the project done, and isn't going to take any BS from anyone on either side. He might be exactly what is needed to drive the project to its conclusion.Ceronomushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07336196754943196901noreply@blogger.com
