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