[Ali Linx <amjjawad@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Phill,

Understood and I expected that but I had to check so thanks :)

You know I'm up to anything that will help us to be better and better. I
understand "TIME" is one of the hardest challenges we do have but that's not
a problem at all :)
I'm so much positive that we'll rock the world ... few more days to prove
that.

Sure, I'll check before shouting so no worries :)

Thanks!
