Are there any other questions about any of this? I haven't had a chance to review it all in detail, so I will likely be following up with you with some individual questions, but I don't have any major questions. Okay. And just so everyone knows if you're open to that. Yeah. And if we, and if we've received questions, we were going to send that question along with the response to everybody on the board.
