Ditto, Richie,
EDIG's project is still in the dream stage. I said it before and I'll say it again, this concept is not new ( whatever it is) and I believe the train has left the station. Unfortunately, EDIG, as usual, is behind the curve.
I don't like it but I can't ignore the obvious. No amount of wishful thinking and long shot theories will change it. I don't know what form the "Hail Mary", will take, if ever, but it's definitely necessary for survival.
