Mr. Merrick should listen to me for a second. We had the former chair and vice chair before us. We had all these investigations. I have looked at all of this and the lovely language but it does not take away from the fact that that language was in place at the time and all of this still happened. One thing that jumps out is that the board was passive. I am not sure if I agree with that but that is what Dr. Thorn said. How does Mr. Merrick feel about that as chair of the board? He was a member of the board at the time. Can he help us with that conclusion and finding from Dr. Thorn?
