That seems like normal attrition in a 9-month period, so I think what we just did, is of the people who were planning on retiring anyway, we just gave them like a 6-month payout. So we get nothing because they get paid through September--if this thing sticks, very unclear. But if this thing sticks, they get paid through September but just retire early, and we don't achieve any sort of turnover savings. So I just think these people are trying to terrorize the workforce.
