Ryan may have been referring to me. Plus, we are covering so much
ground in our discussion, that it could have been confusing as far as
what we were saying/proposing/etc

Plus, I am the one who brought up economics, so you can all blame me! :-P

Anyway, it was a good discussion, and I assume Ryan meant no harm.
You're both worthy  of much respect in my mind.
