The ACC invite was an incredible achievement back then.

I don't think anyone could have seen what we are seeing today with the P2 back in 2004.

Replying "not interested" to an inquiry is no different in my opinion.**
vtdasc90 03/21/24 02:54 PM ET
Who delivered this said inquiry?
vthokieq 03/21/24 02:58 PM ET
I believe the OP started with "If".**
vtdasc90 03/21/24 03:11 PM ET
It also stated offer and quickly changed to inquiry.
