I'm thinking this is an idea that needs to be revisited.  There are a
lot of hardware/manufacturing/ops/whatever issues happening at the
moment, and I think that it would a better utilization of your time to
be here managing the resolution of all those important issues.
Personally I don't think we need both you and Jonathan at that meeting,
not as much as we need at least one responsible adult with a technical
brain in the headquarters.

I'll be out starting Tues.  Sandrine is out.  Jon is out.  Jobi is
out.  You're out.  That's just too many of the sane people with a
technical bent out of the office who can also take time to manage a
situation. That pretty much leaves Hammer and Max in charge.  In which
case we could all save some time and just never bother coming back.
Yes, I eggagerate.  Yes, it's fun to do so.

I'm just sayin'-
