We may have different ways of dealing with this issue and opposing views on the matter entirely but I respect where you are coming from. Sorry that our way of dealing with it would cause any friction or misunderstandings, but we all have to pick our own way through the minefield of day to day biz so to speak. War is hell.
Maybe one day we will laugh over a beer and one or the other will get the privilege of an "I told you so".   |
I understand Farrell. I assume that you know I have been consciously avoiding debating with you precisely because I do consider you a friend, and one of the most knowledgeable people in the business.
You have articulated your positions quite well, and while I might not agree with all of them, I do understand them.
I am not trying to be a gadfly here, I genuinely would like to see the questions which I posed to Nathan / Fabian answered. To me, that would go a long way towards establishing whether we will see any real changes with Mansef / Manwin, or if it will be just more smoke and mirrors, and business as usual.
Finally, I don't think that it has to come down to an "I told you so" moment between you and I, since there is certainly more than one way to conduct business, and I like to think that our friendship runs deeper than that.
I wish you well, and look forward to having that beer with you before too long...
P.S. I was just up in Seattle recently, and thought about calling you, but I was dealing with my Dad passing away, and so I spent time with my family while up there instead. I'll definitely call the next time I'm up that way - you're a lot more fun to hang out with than my relatives, lol.
