Hey, Nick. I wasn't being frivolous, I was very serious. We struggle with re-languaging tired old concepts along with the arcane jargon of complexity that you guys are masters at. Because what we're selling is so out of the box (WHAT? We're going to sit down at the negotiating table without an agenda?!), I take a special delight in discovering old words that can be used in new and captivating ways. And you already know I appreciate you.
And Friam dear, or Douglas dear--you should be ashamed of yourselves if you're older than 14.
