They have a relationship that dates back quite some time.
We bought Marvel in 2009.
I promised Ike the job that he would continue to run Marvel after that.
Not forever, necessarily.
But lets put it this way.
He was not happy about it.
And I think that unhappiness exists today.
And you know, what the link is between that and Nelson, his relationship.
I think thats something that you could speculate about.
