Half the people in this room are from outside the United States. It was interesting, I was talking to the videographer earlier, and he was commenting on— he does a lot of these events, and he was commenting on how often you see international people come to the United States to learn, but not so often do you see Americans going overseas to learn. That's right. And of course he and I were joking. That's because we already know everything so we don't have to go anywhere. Yeah, no kidding. Thank you very much. No kidding. Look, if you're not listening to your international folks about what their customers are telling them, or if you think it's not right, get on an airplane and go over there and figure it out for yourself for sure. But there's a lot of smart people in this room, and they can save you a lot of airplane miles if you just listen to them. Thank you.
