Keith,
I'm with you. So far I don't think Fintan is making too much sense and I
don't really see too much of a difference between the MoM and SOM. But
that's all peripheral, I'd rather be talking about the MoQ. Although I
think the topic of the month was far too broad. A little focus is a good
thing.
It's all good,
Rick
