Matt- I didn't expect you to do this. Really- I'm not blaming you for that
portion of it. Do what you can.

I'm ticked at the overall attitude of 'you lose' for alpha, but that's not
your fault. A statement like

	"Yeah- we'll break alpha, likely. Sorry. Can you pick it up?"

would have made all the difference.
