I've been thinking about it … and thinking I should do it when i can clear the decks around here. This is the 4th or 5th year 12x12 has been running. Next year may be the year!

Spending 6 million to promote our wares at Frankfurt, while decisions were being made behind the scenes to close companies is the most serious error of judgement so far.
