No way! You've done a fantastic job of putting all this together. I could not be more emphatic. In fact, because of your presentation I made major changes in my own offering.

We need your input. You've crystalized things for me, definitely. And I suspect you've made things easier for many others.

All I can say is thanks to you for caring enough to share yourself with others here in what has become our investment community.

As for not having had clarity as to which company is to be held accountable? At some point early in this difficult process I believe every one of us was unsure. Even I had to question myself! It was only when the dust began to settle that I realized that DK holds the reins as DK has the books and ALDW no longer exists.

Don't make apologies, please. You are valuable to us all.
