Suzanne, that's the most concise statement of this fact that I've
ever read. I've always felt there's some delusions here about
us being some significant portion of the total sales market. Even
as far as us being a tool..., well, there's a lot of potential,
but I'm not terribly convinced we amount to much even in that
regard either. While we may (be trying to) help a little bit as
a tool, I think they could survive without us.
