I find that I had the same thing happening while emailing with you -- 
your not-so-technical background gives you a different vocabulary to 
draw from. Thus you choose different words to express the same concepts 
and it may seem we're talking about something totally different. Except 
we're talking about the same thing.

I must say -- sitting down with you and talking over a couple of beers 
really helped me understand your approach to things quite a bit more. 
Don -- thanks for going out for beers (and generic asian food) with me. 
:-)

I can only hope that at some point you, Alex and I could sit down for 
some beers -- that would be a great evening. I just found a perfect 
venue in London where we could have an awesome MB summit. Maybe in the 
fall -- late October?

Not a bad idea at all!
