Yes, that is a bit confusing because </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;" class="">Ed’s </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;" class="">messages on the subject, at least the ones I have seen, have been a bit ambiguous.

Okay, so </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;" class="">we’ll remove Ed from the </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;" class="">member database.
