Not taking it as a flame. It's clear that no matter what we do, you guys won't be happy with it. Not that I care. "Drop your scope suit!" OK, did that. "Well, what did you get for dropping it? You guys must be trying to hose us!" Huh? "Retro is better than a signing bonus." Well, duh. Given the current situation around the cornfield, if anyone thinks this TA is concessionary, they're whacked. Gains in all areas. No give backs. 'Bout all I've got to say about that.
