That we know!Did the Trust actually find no potential problems (in which case it would be nice to hear that), have they not looked into it yet, or did they find problems and you're not saying because you don't want to have a big public discussion (in which case you're being dopey, because it's gonna happen anyway)? We've done our due diligence, but we respect the community and the process, and seek its guidance.(For the record, had you said that the Trust did in fact consult the tea leaves and everything looked on the up-and-up and they were simply confirming this with the community, I would have immediately said, "Fine with me." I'm happy to have people to whom such things can be delegated, but I do want to hear the words "We've done our due diligence.") Ray pr |
