Hello Rover, I want to thank you and your team for so much work, and so much great work. This decision was difficult for everyone, and I am glad to see that it has come to a conclusion. I think it's important to know how to pause and breathe deeply sometimes. I am looking forward to seeing more work from Hong Kong, in an easier environement.
