<i><Morgan Stanley> were going to buy Damian
outright, but their offer was rejected by Yet
Another Society for some reason.</i>
<p>The reason was that YAS felt it was important that at least
some of my sponsorship come from "grassroots" donations, so as to give the entire community a sense of proprietorship in the experiment.
<p>Nevertheless Morgan Stanley <i>were</i> a major sponsor of my work this year. I've been very grateful both for their support (especially that of Phil Moore, Merijn Broeren, and Hildo Biersma) and for the several opportunities I've had to interact with the large number of <i>seriously</i> clueful people they have working there.
