Does that mean that the virtual summit didn't take in as much as was needed, Grant?

My apologies, Grant. There's a bit of confusion on my part from your answer. Your article seemed to indicate that PASS was in a bit (probably an understatement) of financial trouble. I asked if it DIDN'T take in as much as needed an your reply was "NOPE" and that seems to indicate that it DID take in as much as needed. It may be that me asking the question in a negative fashion is what has me confused so I'll ask again in the positive fashion (mostly because I'm a bit shocked and want to confirm).

Did PASS take in enough from Summit to properly survive?

Yes, it took in enough.
No, it didn't take in enough.

I would think the Grant's answer meant "Nope, it didn't". Much like if one were asked "Didn't you like that meal?" and the response was "Nope". Which would mean that they didn't like the meal.

That's what I'm thinking, as well, but I just didn't want to assume.

No, we didn't make enough. Other stuff is being worked on. There are plans and plans with plans. All the details will be released soon.

Grant, thank you for the Editorial piece and your thoughts. It did make me stop and think about how PASS has affected me and influenced my professional career, as well as kick-started my (meagre) volunteering efforts. All in a positive way. Let's hope you and the board can come up with a cunning plan (Blackadder, anyone?).
