Sorry, but I made a resolution never to ask them anything ever again.
Remember last time. You can ask, and tell us the answer if you want.

What was the sponsorship take. How much were the travelling, hotels and
expenses, and other expense items ? I'ld be intererested to find out. If
my guesstimates are wrong, fine - give us the figures. And remember, I'm
not making any accusations, just concerned tbat the N x $1000's get
eaten rather too easily. This is just a question of financial
management, not fraud or anything else, that you were very quick to
accuse me of accusing last time .......

My anger-detection meter has swung very high, Bruce. Why is it not ok to
discuss / question these costing issues ? Remember I pay the $1000, I
resent it; you don't have to pay it.
