I thought you were paul. I immediately knew what it happened. There is another Ken Silverstein in West Virginia who writes a lot about the oil industry. He writes her trade industry publication and is very, very i would say more sympathetic to the industry and circumspect than i am. So i felt obliged to say i think theres been a misunderstanding. But because of that misunderstanding, i did hear a lot of very interesting stories. And to her great credit, even afterwards she clearly was surprised when i said i am not that Ken Silverstein. As she continued to talk to me all along although it was originally the chapter is based on the piece for harpers magazine and has spoken with are much than then. Host so you close within. Why .
