Hi John.

So this is day two of our week long effort to answer to the best extent possible interesting

questions sent to us by podcast listeners.

As I said yesterday we are taping this ahead of time.

So we are speaking in innocence of any news developments that have occurred in the past

week.

And if we say anything in relation to them, please keep in mind that we don't know what

on earth has happened between around June 20th and the time that you are hearing this.

So don't hold us responsible for improper information.

All right.
