Consolidated questions

Good afternoon,

I consolidated the list of questions. We had less overlap than I thought which is awesome. I am posting them below for your review. We don't have to do the conference call thing as long as we can come to agreement in this forum (or through text) on the questions to be asked. Please let me know if you have any objections. Jackie probably won't get this until later so I will text her (you) the questions. She might be unable to read them but at least she will have them available. I hope it's okay that I send the list to Andy now so at least he has an idea of what is possible in terms of questions for tomorrow. Good work everyone. These questions are sure to get us all the information we need. Talk to you soon.P.S., if everyone feels like talking still at 10PM, I am fine with that. Just let me know. Also, my preference would be to ask questions 8-14, but I am open to alternatives.

Thanks,

Garret
