I don't mean to promote Wester Union, but 90 out of 1000 is 9%, 1.09 * 3.98 = 4.34. Do you get 4.34 rate from an exchange?

That means we will see you at the dinner. You are on the list. As everybody else who is among first 15 people who replied. (And that includes Postmodernchild as well). See you on Saturday!
