say that was the *only* role of the Foundation. Florence is
misremembering my words here. If I had said what Florence thinks I

Although it may not be what you meant, I certainly construed "The
Foundation is only paying for it" in the same way Florence did.
Properly I should have said "The Foundation is only facilitating it,
which of course entails the spending of money, but which doesn't mean
we're the conference organizers."
