Hi Alek,

I think you're right, but I also think that there are probably things
we could be collaborating on that do not require financing. Let's not
exclude any possibilities though: if you feel that financing is a
relevant pre-condition for the activities you have in mind, I think we
should make a concentrated effort at finding such funding.
