Guys, thank for a lot of interesting information and your thoughts! one suggestion to improve: your native language is English, but you tell stories to many people for whom English is second language and i would recommend you to try more clear pronunciation, because sometimes it's really hard or impossible to understand what did you say, the words are just unclear. i hope to hear more ulti news from you soon! thanks a lot!
