And I think they all see if they don't get involved, and we, and we can't grow our workforce, that ultimately results in less sales for them.

Derek BarrettGUEST
If we're not, if we're not buying the machinery or, uh, investing in what types of materials out there and stuff, we all need to, uh...

Derek BarrettGUEST
And also showing new products and stuff and showing what's out there, and that has been brilliant.

Derek BarrettGUEST

So I mean, what do you think, though, about whether sharing our ideas and work online is an overall positive or negative for our trade?
