If you have been following Dr. Dalton, he will either answer...yes! or no...or not answer at all...The question may have been unintentionally open ended. (can you confirm or deny and was answered with a yes). Also, the relationship doc holds with some of the long shareholders does change the meaning of the answer. I'm not one of those that does. However; With that said...based on the connection and history from all the DD it is safe to surmise the connection to be confirmed as yes.
