I'm also perplexed not only by the failure to tell Jimbo but by the failure to
tell anyone else. Maybe I'm just a stuck-up self-righteous snot but I would
have first gone to Jimbo and if he had known would have demanded disclosure by
the Foundation. Even if you thought that Jimbo already knew about it why not
let others know as well?
