I am not sure I realized we were having ithe conversation in pubic either. But it doesnt seem a bad conversation to have... in public. The high bit, as Owen would say, is to contunue making Friam and Wedtech as good for the people who are there as possible. Better to get us all to move out there with you, than to move you to us. Keep Jerusalem and Dublin vibrant: Chicago and Boston will take care of themselves. That is the word from the Friam diaspora. Nick Nicholas S.
