I found it kind of hilarious (& utterly absurd) that a particular segment of interested parties today , chose to try (in vain) to twist this disclosure into somehow meaning that QMC is funding 'itself' in this collaborative venture &/or N-D is merely acting as a middleman for some other party in the background. The word "duplicitous" was used today to put these peculiar assertions in their place...but I see that adjective as being an overly generous description.
