I'm not aware of any plans that call for massive

are easy day trips. International flights are more difficult but that
hasn't slowed down Jimbo. Given that the Foundations pays $400 per
month for office space, it's a whole lot cheaper to fly back and forth a
few time a month than lease office space in Manhattan.
Our strength is that we are a virtual organization and that isn't going
to change.
Fully seconded. One of our strengths is extremely low costs implying
strong independence and no fears about our financial future. Adding a
lot of staff and the rent and salary costs associated with an office in
an expensive city does not appear to me very compelling, to say the least.
