You were not mentioned in this context from Dan. These statements came from someone else up there who called me on his cell phone after sitting in a meeting with some folks. Apparently, there was a third party of some sort involved. I am only speculating, but letting it die would be best. I have no idea what you said to them outside of the email you copied me on. I only know what they communicated to me.
