I'd add, it's most people never bother to check the accuracy of a quoted
statistic, so they can. Except this group of Auditeers. I have to say, I've
always been impressed by the quickness with which people here have always
corrected other's mistakes. Bad statistics, don't seem to fly very long
around here. I've made a couple of blunders and some of you have been right
on it. Pop music must do something to the brain, make one more smarter, or
more cynical, or just more interested in life.

Also: I'm glad to hear Michael Carpenter's coming out to play US dates. I
really wanted to see him at the last IPO LA, but had to miss him due to a
schedule conflict. Very glad I might get another chance sometimes soon.
