<Morgan Stanley> were going to buy Damian outright, but their offer was rejected by Yet Another Society for some reason.

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.

Nevertheless Morgan Stanley were 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 seriously clueful people they have working there.
