I think that most of the blame rests on my shoulders.  Before Micah and I
joined up with you and Jason we had far less ambitious goals, and when I
talked to Chris, I went in with those more limited goals in mind.

and it's not like he's hounding us every other day or anything like that.
He knows we're working hard and deep down inside he's already commited to
wait for however long it takes.
