Are you implying that our unity, if there would've been one, would've caused 9E fold? Just trying to follow...

I have no cristal ball. But I'm pretty damn sure that 3 groups pulling in the same direction have a bit more chances of achieving something, and making a lot less damage to their own, rather than having all three pull their own way to get the upper hand over the other two.

But that's not the case. Neither at 9E nor at the regional industry level. It just doesn't work that way.

I'm with you on the National Seniority list idea.
