Well, hello there
Negotiations are now open...
Before we get started,
may I remind you that (and yes, I know I run the risk of getting a NO, but I'm sure you'll postpone your decisions for as long as possible
):
1) I plan to be on this forum for a long time to come and to visit many, many future threads
2) I have an exquisite memory that has served me well in the past
3) I have proven negotiation skills (though I am starting from a slightly worse position this time
)
