Thank you for your servant leadership* for this cause, Aleksi. I was one of the members of the enthusiastic audience at this event, and I'm grateful to have been in the space. Thanks for tolerating my chat-space efforts to enrich the conversation :) and sorry if it felt like too much - I meant no disrespect.
