you could see all the catastrophe in the city. You could see people floating, swimming, trying to save their lives.

I'm trying not to speculate. A lot of people are speculating wildly about what happened and then in an e-mail you find out it's wrong.

The long-term goal is to give these people the life of their choice. We provide the platform.

It's been interesting, in a little bit less than nine months weve gone from trying to convince people that :30s and :15s were a viable option, to now were responding to requests for even shorter length commercials. Weve had major national agencies come to us and talk to us about what were now calling 'ad-lets,' which are five-second commercials. Weve had requests for seven-second commercials. Its really spawned a different kind of conversation and a different level of participation with our advertising partners. Thats all really very encouraging.

It was nice to see how hard he was trying to beat my record because perhaps now people will realize that it's not easy as it looks to go 82-3. Roger has had a phenomenal year, he came up one short, but while it would have been nice to be tied with him, it is still sort of cool that I still have one record.
