Quit playing around. You don't have the floor, for one thing.

I'll just make the point that Mr. Easter was late for the meeting. We had agreed, I thought, among the rest of us that we were going to adjourn at 4:15. If Mr. Easter wanted to continue that, he could have come and talked to me. He didn't do that. I don't know if he's just playing games. I'm willing to talk to others. It doesn't matter to us, we can stay and talk about this for the rest of the meeting and that's fine.

In all fairness to David, he did approach me, and I talked with Roger, on the fact that you had to leave and the fact that we would continue speaking next meeting; he did commit to bringing this to a vote in the next meeting. I'm willing to go along with that and adjourn early.
