But the fact that they took full credit without acknowledging the at-home folding folks was quite telling. They could not have done it alone for sure. There wrre a few million in the team I was folding with.

It would have even been great publicity to engage more people to fold with them.

But no, taking full credit was most important, apparently.

Then I began to think about that "doctor" TFG hired from Stanford.

I have no knowledge of that institution, but it sure has left me with a negative impression. 👍
