These are valid points. I covered a great deal of ground in that presentation however this was an angle that I missed. I certainly didn¹t intend any offense with that omission and if I gave any then I do apologize for that. We are all extremely grateful for the many ways the community contributes.
I¹m also pleased to see a number of new contributions this week which is wonderful.
