To in response to what theyre going to say, we would like to show how the drawing should be different. The only way now they can do it is come in with hard copy or something and hold it up and put it in the record. And it would seem to me that if you invite somebody in support and somebody comes to you and says, we would like to be invited even though were not going to support you, no, we wont invite you because you arent going to be supporting us. I understand what youre saying, commissioner. I...
