We're just trying to keep our base invigorated and charging and continuing to move forward to fight annexation and this is the best way we know how to do it.

No one came to us and gave us a choice they just came to us and said here it is. You have to take it you can't do anything about it. And you're going to have to pay lots more money for it. And we don't think that's fair.

No one blow is going to be terminal, ... But this is another very serious one. All this does is add to the increasing loss of confidence in our systems.

But that should be accentuated as we move toward the third and fourth calendar quarters, as 1X starts to become a real part of the sales,

This today was a real step and what I felt is a maturity in this relationship,

We'd be gone for three or four months at a time, coming back and retrieving all that back pay every time. We bought the whole town, sometimes.
