But hey don't forget that he made a sort of an apology (SORT OF) in telling us that he was optimistic in telling us what he did.!!

He was optimistic he tells us now, but IMHO, it was also a good way of telling us that he was well worth his pay.

And that is why, if I am allowed to remind you, about the inclusions of those very long winded "DISCLAIMERS" at the bottom of their announcements.

Ohhh those disclaimers...They can practically tell you anything and guess what..................
You better start learning how to whistle dixie......... Just in case.

While IMHO, I wonder if it is the reason of having a C.S./Lawyer appointed full time in the Coy and collecting such a very very extremely good pay.

Dyor.!!
