I can’t speak for all of the partners but I know Devon and I were both surprised to hear this and this is probably something we should discuss in more depth on our partners calls going forward.   It is important that we all have full transparency into the finances of RSTP so that this doesn’t come as a surprise to any of us AFTER the money has been spent - be it on travel, meals and entertainment and retainer payments, etc.

In the meantime I know it would be good to see what has been spent in the past year and how much each of the partners are owed.  If we need to make some decisions as a partnership on cutting expenses going forward we should discuss that as a group.   Hopefully we can all look at our burn rate and current cash on hand on our next call.

(But that seemed too much like an email John would send.)   Let me know.
