Also we need to make sure that we don't say things that may embarrass a person we are hoping to develop as an ally by overstating what they said to us or saying something they may not have said in a more open forum.<o:p class=""></o:p></div></div></div><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""> <o:p class=""></o:p></div></div></div><div class=""><div class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class="">I trust that this makes sense to the rest of you.
