It's a good deal for Coddington too.
I know Dr. Joe already replied, but I just feel compelled to ask a question.
You think RAGE and NEMO are realizing monetary benefit from this?

I'd really love to hear your explanation of EXACTLY how that is happening as you make pretty bold and scathing claims, but please do it in a PM so not to take up more space (or hurt more feelings) here.

I'm wondering how well you know Kathie Kentfield and the concept behind NEMO. Headquarters? NEMO leadership is positioned throughout the country. There's no one that I know of "going to work" every day at NEMO HQ and, thus there are no overhead costs. I'll go WAY out on a limb here and venture my best educated guess here, since I know many involved with NEMO, and state that I don't believe there is a bank account anywhere on this planet associated with NEMO. So unless someone is handing over unmarked bills in brown paper bags .... you get the point.

If you really feel strongly about this, please PM me your detailed thoughts. If there is a misunderstanding, I'd like to see the record set straight.
