I'm happy to acknowledge that we are not as far along as we'd like to be 
in some areas -- or even that we´ve screwed up some things as well -- 
but I'd just like the "strides have been pretty amazing" bit to come 
through, too. :) I´m looking for more balance in how we are perceived 
globally and I don´t see that yet. In time, I guess ...

Good comments.
