sfs,
The best response I could probably offer to all of that is, "He's one lucky guy!" And you can tell him I said that! haha
My "weeks/months" comment was only meant to state my belief that due to everything we have in the pipeline our upward momentum is set to return.
I believe you're right about the future: EP isn't going away; indeed, its presence will one day be evident in nearly everything you can touch, see and imagine -- but, one brick at a time! The foundation is in place. Now it's time to start framing the building.
regards,
