Ron, you`re correct, I/I needs additional tools development. Even with the good fundamentals in design, improvements need to be made.
You are also correct in Turleys role. Howeve, he demonstrated to me that in addition to his smarts, he also has a bit of salesman in him.
I think he can ID potential matches, plus he has the silver tongue which will help in winning a suitor that may be sitting on the fence.
Given the number of options he now has, I think he has a bit more in obligation than in just lending his name.
JMHO
