Thanks, Steve, for cautioning me that I may lose my objectivity. I consider it a compliment to be perceived as being objective. The line between objectivity and hypocrisy is such an obscured and fragile thing that one must remain ever conscious of where he treads.

Now we are off in an area that would be better served over a few cocktails or a stein or two. Have a feeling it would be a highly charged, yet stimulating and rewarding evening.

Thanks again,

George
