Why on earth do you think I made a offer on behalf of the Foundation? I
don't have the authority to do that. I said that /I/ felt it was a good
idea, and that I'm sure Danny would be able to arrange anything
necessary... obviously that would be /if/ the Board agreed. I don't see
any reason why they wouldn't - you'll have to ask and find out.

I won't argue particular points of law, because I am not a lawyer or an
expert in law. Perhaps a position you should consider taking yourself.
I simply repeat what I've been told, and I chose carefully who I
decide to take clarification from
