| 0 | + | I think at this point the community should not be forced wait for you |

| 0 | + | to get a new supply of round tuits. The wait has been too long |

| 0 | + | already. You can stay on in an advisory role, but I don't think it's |

| 0 | + | That's great, but I don't think it solves the structural problem, |
