[MD] Decision

[Mary]

John is in the house tonight.

Hi,

It was pointed out to me that many believe I resigned last night, when all I
was doing was quoting Gavin's resignation speech from March.  Yeah, I know,
the shrugs are cool with me, but some of you will have to keep the catcalls
to a minimum. ;)

Thanks for working on the 'space' issue, John.  If we can get a space opened
up where half the people here are not accused of lying, we might have a real
discussion soon.

I'm optimistic.

Best,
Mary
