Hi, Doug. Congrats on the result! I haven't focused enough on it to have any clear sense of the merits, but the outcome does seem sensible to me, and it sure seems that some of the rhetoric I'm seeing on the other side -- much of it in support of fund-raising appeals -- is way overblown.
I hope all else is well. Please pass on my warm regards to Terry.
