On February 17th I will say my piece as outgoing chairman, and then I will leave. You can bring up whatever arguments you like after that, because I won't be there to listen to them. You will have my resignation letter signed in all the right places. And when I am no longer bound by the politeness required by the chairman, I will tell you where you can stick it.
