I remember they wouldn't share the results over a year ago, so I was
surprised when everybody got excited here when we started, but then I
looked and saw they kinda opened up.  Apparently, they'll keep playing
games like this since they want to have both: money and parishioners.
The only open project at that time was as Stanford, but it's nature
and goals were different.
I guess, I will pull the plug on Toronto folks.
