Michael, Could you further define option C (shortening the presentations). Historically, we've had 10-minute presentations with 5 minutes of Q&A. Does option C mean 3-minute presentations with 3 minute of Q&A? Does it mean taking up more calls for presentations? Both? While we could probably cut a few minutes off, I'd fear that 5-minute or less for presentations would make them far less informative/useful.
