It appears the general consensus is that the money could've been used to better effect had a different approach been used. May I suggest that for future ventures, you (Gayle) put your ideas forward here on the site so you can get a better feel for the attitude to your intentions thereby mitigating any backlash in advance.
What has been shown with this thread is that what yourself & others who move in the same circles view as feasible is seen differently by other folk. So hopefully with a broader input a better result may be achieved a genuine take from all ports & should it not work out, well you couldn't be held solely responsible as others have stuck their 2 'pennoth worth in. Just a suggestion to ease things a little
But what do I know, I'm a cultural pygmy.
