Cass, I don't need verification on this matter. It's clear to me, as I see these two new job offerings as a good thing.
Why do you need me to ask Robert Putnam questions that I am sure you are fully capable of asking yourself ?
Maybe he answers my posts because I don't waste his time with bothersome posts which second guess the company's every move, especially something as simple as the first job openings at the company in several quarters.
