Tim,
the simple fact is last I'm a realist who knows that this project is coming to an end. There is no real momentum & a severe cash flow problem for which there is no obvious answer.
I'm certainly not a compulsive misery, I was simply commenting of the fact that your posts contain no concrete information infact, your estimation of what the project hopes to achieve with 250K contradicts much of what is said on the project's website.
I'm afraid you simply HAVE to look beyond the end of the month, as any organisation contemplating offering funds towards the project will. The horizon looks bleak, sad but true.
Don't take my attitude towards the project personally, after all you have stated that you have no commercial interest with the Vulcan.
Don't fret, I'm sure your book will still sell many copies, I'll probably buy it myself!
