Absolutely, and you are certainly entitled to that opinion.

I have already assured everyone that we will not accept donations until
we have something official in place with an approval committee to audit
all incoming funds and agree on all expenditures.  This committee will
have full  visibility.

As soon as we have details of exactly how that will happen, we will post
them.

I may be a few more weeks as we work through the details.

Thanks,
