Funny, I don't recall saying anything about reapportioning funds from one department to another. You made that up. > If this is what you are saying then the whole publicity stunt was, > at worst, dishonest in its portrayal, at best, fraudulent. Oh, please. The TMO would have funded his research in any case. They just decided to hand out the money in a way that would give them some publicity. Nothing the least bit fraudulent about it. The press release said what the money was to be used for. And publicity stunts are by definition "dishonest." This was a good one, imaginative and quite successful. No kidding, folks, the criticism here is verging on the pathological. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
