I was not questioning Mr. Creed's ability to be on the board. I was simply asking whether there was a view that to have adequate competence, a certain level of knowledge was required. Mr. Creed said that he did not believe so. Dr. Brady said that his other expertise was adequate and that he is learning fast. I was simply wondering about that on a personal level.

Earlier, Mr. Creed made a reference in an interjection to support another answer. I am paraphrasing but I gather he said that he knows of no businesses operating within several miles of each other whose premises were empty three or four nights per week. Is that what he said?
