Heard your presentation, i want to comment on it. The first thing is, i completely support revocation hearings. I dont think that the fact that we can speed up everything and get it out the door and it reminds me for when i used to work for kodak and people would run in and say, i have to develop this right now. And then you see its christmas pictures. Why did it take you that long to develop this but you need it now . Those are the jokes we used to have. One of the questions we used to ask at h. P. How do we know where we want to go when we dont know where were really at. And after hearing the presentation, that really hits me.
