 I have always hoped that some-
 one from the Board - you, Dmytri,
 Richard - would take a leave and
 become director and flog companies
 to support TFN. Or that someone
 else out there will come forward.
 But it hasn't happened. And it 
 concerns me greatly. All this
 work and years of effort can't
 go down without a struggle.

 My assets and (in this case)
 liabilities are clear. Yes I
 am what I am. Highly imperfect.
 Not the ideal candidate for
 the regular job in regular times.
 But - perhaps - in these times
 of crisis and not a little chaos
 I may be of service. It's my
 milieu after all, eh?

 I would like to meet with the
 executive committee ASAP. Thank
 you for being honest Marc as I
 have attempted to be in my reply.
