Today I received an email from Sam Odio. I prefer to respond to it in public. Here is his message:

My impression is not the one that matters. The impressions that matter are those of the people who have been touched by and participated in Jonathan's Card. If you'd like to speak to them, you can do so on their Facebook page.
