It would appear you have a few new "Wall Street/5th Avenue" types sniffing about IND, probably up to industrial espionage and leveraged mayhem. My guess is that at quarterly report time, you'll find they're more "Garment District" in nature, and are merely trying some not-so-subtle intimidation tactics to make up for lost ground.
Just wanted to assure you of continuing "preferred customer" status with my little venture, Daddy Warbucks Ent. LLC. Fond memories and mentoring count for much, Jay; and I still consider the debt not paid. Call on me any time, and extend an open invitation at Villa Incognita to all the VPs. It's almost harvest time!
Meanwhile, I'm in New York! Miracle of miracles. And I'm hosting in the bar! Stop counting those bloody beans, and attend!
