Yes, of course, you are correct, sir. You can not rush quality.
All in due time. All in due time, to be sure. I absolutely agree whole-
heartedly.

hhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmm............ VERY interesting point indeed, I like it!
Through organizing and uniting, the sum of the parts exceeds the total
by leaps and bounds.
Suddenly there is a force to be reckoned with.

EXACTLY, wasn't that the point of the original Newton team.
If you research the development of the Newton you will understand what I
say.
"Come to the edge." "We can't. We're afraid."
"Come to the edge." "We can't. We will fall!"
"Come to the edge."
And they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew.

That's just it. It's NOT dead. It is evolving.
