In Response To: what difference would it make? (garyo)

Some people collect information to make educated/informed decisions. Marv's post subject line was provocative but when I read his post I realized he was trying to put things in perspective. He got the ball rolling and now (with responses from Patrick and Chiva) we all hopefully have a better idea of the balance sheets for tournaments.

As far as I can tell this thread helps directors (and therefore, BG) more than it hurts them. I've heard people say they think directors are making money. I asked the Meeses for information many years ago and got my informed opinion then. (Most) religions and repressive governments thrive on keeping their subjects ignorant. Is that what we want in BG?

"It's none of your business" may work for parents talking to children. I don't feel it's appropriate here on this forum.
