In my haste to put that post together this morning, I failed to mention one other lock solid factor in the announcement of an office in SV. I have to apologize for the grammar and usage as well. In my rush to get an idea on the screen and my sometimes limited time span, the whole grammar school teachings thing goes out the window.
The announcement itself was a stunning indictment on many of the unconnected dots. It was quite obvious to me that this was the one piece of confidence that had to be shown on the product side to prove out all the remaining questions.
The item that I neglected to mention, was the fact of permanency. The fact that this office will be a permanent fixture on the SV horizon. This makes it obvious to me that they want to build the Herring into a Whale. This makes its obvious that not only do they have the grail in hand, that for years to come, they want to keep having it in hand.
