I was quite pleased to meet and speak with Mr. Thorton after his presentation
and Q&A period.  The guy uses a little too much dramatic pause but otherwise the
presentation according to agenda that I witnessed was very good.

Boyo boyo this stuff sounds like a jealous spouse.

Let us center on substantive issues rather than personal grievances with gross
history and procedural tit for tat.

Sincerely,
Eric
