Re: Antonio's grant

It just occurred to me that someone will have to translate the PDF.  
Arrrgh

It seems there are no vocal dissenters to establishing a grant fund for 
this research. Let's then start building a fund.  First of all, does 
anyone have a non-profit bank account/org that would have a tax free 
status?  If so, you are elected the lucky collection center for the 
first (and perhaps only) DML research fund.  Sans a nonprofit cover, I 
would be willing take checks and keep records in a regular account that 
I would have to set up. (I would not want to mix with my personal or 
business account.  If there is a problem with this, post the issue 
please.  I think we could start an account next monday if everyone is 
good with the idea.  Barring any changes to this line of thinking, I 
will publish my address and the account name for the checks next Monday 
evening.

I am at a slight disadvantage because the nearest Western Union office 
is 70 miles away in Gillette but I do get down there every couple of 
weeks to get groceries and I am sure the time frame is not critical.  
Of course we haven't heard back from Antonio yet. He probably has to 
translate all this chatter.

Heck, since there seems to be some genuine interest in this process, I 
might even give in and put a sawbuck in the pile just to get it going. 
Any time I can help get a paper out for review at the cost of a Wendy's 
lunch........ and I didn't even have to remove overburden!
