Yeah this is sounding much better, and thats the idea, to get everyones
thoughts about something like this.
I will say this though in case it didn't sound clear earlier. I didn't want LA
receiveing a letter which nitpicks or starts requesting that they get their
acto together immediately. Although we all feel they could do better, its
important to develop a repoire with them before we start suggesting how they
should do their own business.
That is why I only wanted the letter to be just to see if they'd recognise us,
nod their heads and say "right we're with you" or they might turn around and
say "all we do is import and distribute sets, nothing more".
If we start advising them and start picking on them right away, they'll never
cooperate with us until they can understand that we want to help the situation
for everyone.
