Oookay . . . Where is it incorporated? By who?

I see. Well this is not what most native speakers of English would assume Swartz meant in this context, but okay, if you substitute meaning #2, then LENR-CANR is a company. It is also an assemblage, complement, cadre, squad (but not in the military sense!), a fraternity (but not associated with any college or university), a sodality, a coterie and a clique (except that anyone can join). Yes, we must speak by the card, or equivocation will undo us. Oh, and by the way, we have Prince Albert in a can, so someone should let him out. Such childish nonsense! - Jed
