The fact that you're there and that you care does make a huge difference. I know it must be frustrating and saddening to feel you can do so little to help, but what you're doing there really will change the world in the long run.

You sent out a journal update on one of our OI-Wedco loans in August. Reading this blog today, I experience the same feelings I had then.
