Thanks for explaining, Abel. 

I'm going to meet with these guys in person in about 1/2 hour at a coffee place in Newport Beach. I happen to be staying a couple of miles (no pun intended) from where they presently reside.

I have no financial interest in their enterprise. Just passing the message on. And just once.
