Hi,
I'm feeling some aggression and defensiveness here which I'm going to
put down to cultural differences. I will say, though, that we all have a
part to play in improving things, and I think that this could have been
addressed better if I'd brought it up before the release (mea culpa).

Dave, you have to be a bit more discerning. :-) How realistic do you think
those numbers are, considering your experience with our press coverage? It
doesn't seem right, surely?

I'm sorry I didn't bring this up before the release, when it would have
been more useful. Let's just learn the lesson, and make sure our finger
is on the pulse next time, and give kudos where it's due.
Gathering, sorting, and presenting the release information takes a lot of
time and effort.
