It is quite clear that we do not have the funds to do this right now. It has
been on the agenda for quite some time, but we must spend responsibly. We
are in the process of hiring for a position that will open up opportunities
such as this in due time. Your suggestion is noted; we've said that it has
been a desire for the Foundation for some time -- please do not unreasonably
agitate to get what you want immediately.
