hi everyone,
Here's my summary of our grant rejection for this year, with my one sentence summaries - the full scans are linked on the twiki:

2006
* referee 1: score 4 * referee 1: report - not possible to reject the hypothesis, so not worth funding * referee 2: score 7 * referee 2: report - the project will not give a final answer to the topology of the Universe * referee 3: score 6.5 * referee 3: report - researching the PDS model no longer has any sense because of the [unrefereed] article AstroPh:0604616
Summary: unless there is a Nobel prize for discovering the topology of the Universe, research into the subject will not be funded. The astronomy community does not see fundamental research as a high priority.
Maybe we should get jobs in a Patent Office? ;) Apparently not much has changed since 100 years ago...
Anyway, it's true we need to publish our followup paper to RLCMB04. Which is in progress...
