Hi Helen.

 From what I say on the links this was an ordinary incineration-promotion
junket.  

Not knowing any of the details, or the politics, behind it, I'd not
assume that because Scott Smithline of CAW went along, he's necessarily
on board with a burner scam.  It does illustrate how just going on
such a junket can create problems.  On the other hand, there is
value in having a knowledgeable, independent person along to keep track
of the misrepresentations and perhaps inform the naive.

For sure there is a story here!  But what, exactly, is it?
