Must you behave in this way, or do you choose to? So grasping, and always demanding, and suspicious--the worst offense of the group! You are hearing wrong, if what you are hearing is causing you to act in this way. I skirt nothing. I am saying, [slowly, and clearly,] that I have been advised to take care in the backing of this venture, and to seek additional funding, as is common for any venture of this sort, or any research project, for which you might apply for grants, or raise funds among a certain group of people interested in such ventures or projects--all very usual in these circumstances, n'est ce pas? Surely you are familiar.
