Fully agree - all the whining from guys who don't know what they are talking about is getting real old. Chaves and company did work hard to make a competitive bid (yes, we were less than $5K short). It would have been sufficient against most any other opponent. I don't know where people think we are supposed to find all of the money for efforts like these or big things like the HPC2. A lot of people are working hard to make these things happen but there is only so much you can do.
As you point out, I hope the whiners are doing their part to support our program. I would suspect they are not!
