The key is the long term, Hueyone. If we are looking at 30 years worth of cash flows, of course you will see one year where working capital goes down by a couple billion and another where it goes up by a billion. What's more is that here is a company whose cash and investments total $21 billion, so a billion may seem to be a lot, but you can expect swings like that when they have so much money sloshing around in the current and long term accounts. I'm not denying the significance of those swings in a two year period as you have noted, but I again state that over a 30 year period, these swings average out. We're looking for long term sustainable trends, not one to two year fluctuations.
