Tom, forgetting for a moment the dichotomy of the standards ( 130 for
mix, 180 for eanx), why do I need to come to you to dive deep on air? I
can do that myself.

since when do the students make the standards. Tom, we have some
seriously flawed logic in all of this - you are the boss, you should be
setting the pace.
