Thank you. Have we heard from the other 25?  If all of these were 
fulfilled, what percentage of existing inventory would be consumed.  All 
of it?  It seems reasonable to me that the same kinds of considerations 
apply in this case as "2 packages of toilet paper per customer" when the 
pandemic hit.  This feeling becomes particularly acute when considering 
both that the waitlist address pool was only replenished after the 
recovery of addresses from those who acquired them fraudulently, and that 
precedent to that, the waitlist mechanism suffered from no available 
inventory.

I will, however, reserve voicing an opinion until I fully understand the 
effects of the outcome on the available address pool, in both scenarios.

Thanks,
Scott
