RE: grant for antonio

I second Tom's seconding of Luis. :-)

I think that perhaps Frank could put aside the amount needed to ship money to wherever - for the next grant; and, of course, subtract out the costs for this grant (and don't forget Frank's ice cream reward! :-)).

The remaining funds should go to Fabio.

I was surprised how many of the contributors I was able to discern from just initials, and (sometimes) location.

Good work Frank, and everyone else who chipped in.

I second Luis' comments.

Particularly as the price of travel is related to the price of jet fuel, which is linked to the price of petroleum, which isn't
likely to get better anytime soon.

Let's hope the DML doesn't follow the standard Academia model, and start taking off it's 45% (or so) overhead...
