If SIZE matters to you, you'd better go look elsewhere.

ET's strength, whatever it is, is not its SIZE. Other things matter.

And I don't know what this good Ritter-bad Ritter routine you have going on is all about.

Mig, you misrepresent my statement about SIZE. To be clear: I think that time has come to transform ET's insight into SIZE and to stop the current ET tendency to drift towards and to indulge in blatant cynicism. (the snark baloney)

Protagonism should be the word which defines us.

Mig,

let's come together at the Brusseks meet-up in October and develop a kick-ass strategy. It feels so much better to act like responsible protagonists. Give it a shot. Europe is ready for our input.

Go ET protagonists!

I'll believe it when I see it. Plan D... [funny, Plan D was launched on October 13 last year. Maybe we should have a little anniversary celebration]

You know, there is this big column in front of my seat so although I can hear the fat lady sing, I can't see a damn thing. I want my money back.
