Hey David,

Welcome and thank you for joining. It was great to meet you last night and also enlightening to understand what SLH is all about: I must admit that I could not get my head around it. I hope we meet again and continue the conversation. If you are in London on Wednesday you are more than welcome to join us for hotcatUK Live at Sartoria.
Keep well and keep in touch.
Jose
