I would say there is a lesson here for both of us, and one of those is to make clear I am always ready to take your calls, your meeting, whatever you want and engage.
Given how important this obviously is, my only regret is that we didn't have an opportunity to talk about it 24 hours ago.
Thank you for your passion, and I would ask that we spend the rest of this day dealing with this.
