He tells it like it is from his point of view. You got to give him 
that. I'm sure it's an easier way to manage a list. Certainly less 
likely to be disrupted by personalities. Any problems? Gone!

I admit we've certainly gotten to a better place than a few years ago. 
At least now we're seeing battles between vendors of good products. 
It don't make 'em immune from aggressive marketing, though.

As I said to Bill, I'm nearing the end of my willingness to compromise
with some people, but no more than that. The day I feel my efforts are
wasted is the day I'll step down. That is not today.

It's amazing what we can grow to tolerate... Think about that.

I thank you, Terry.
