Judging by my own reaction, I suspect that this thread will end up having a positive effect: I promptly got on Max's secure line and made another donation. Sounds like others had the same response.

I have to believe that the original question was not an innocent request for information. If it were, why wouldn't the question have been asked of Max, rather than of the members? All we could say is, don' know, don' care.
