Hmmm=20

I wonder how you explained the future of flex to your top marketeers =
'who laughed their head off'
Cause one of their preferred logo's looks like a styled infinity sign =
(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780536/).=20
I'm sure we all agree here that even if we reinvent flex, it still won't =
last forever.=20
Thinking that would be a little naive imho :-)

So far for the correct message that reflects the future of flex clearly =
;-)

Ah well...
