Oh, well good I am not seeing phantoms. I have had time to focus on
where we are for the past few days and I am worried about what I see. It
can be great, or it can be a mess, for both us and the companies
involved, and I want to work to make it the former.

The fact is, we now have more and more companies relying on us to be a
success, and that is an added responsibility for us. We can make it
work, but just hoping for it isn't enough --- we have to focus on the
issues early and plan for that success.
