My comments were made based on Ayden's posts about many things, CDA being one of them. I do not offer specific names/committees, etc., because I don't have any; I admittedly do not deal with CDA as I live in the US. However, I do offer specifics (such as those I've posted regarding ADA and JDF) when I have them.
I still believe, despite what you say, that CDA's ignoring Ayden - and even telling him that they would require at least a year's notice to offer support - is appalling and atrocious. That is my opinion based on what I have read and seen. You won't change it.
Furthermore, I believe that although your post was in reply to mine, you wish everyone who comes here to take heed. I believe you will find many specifics if you care to track back through the archives.
By the way, we ARE a fringe group in many ways, I think; to me, that is not an insult. This is the best place I have found for information about so many areas of cure research and other activities/goings-on that I believe are important. Not everyone is interested in pushing so hard for a cure, but the folks who come here do so because they believe proper funding and focus can lead to it soon.
