This bounced back form your HBS e-mail address so I am resending it
directly.

< I've just come back from listening to your talk and responses to Q&A at
< the raucous California Commonwealth Club meeting tonight. As an HBS MBA a
< dozen years ahead of you, I wanted to drop you a note to say how well I
< thought you handled the highly charged atmosphere and the
< "pie-in-the-face" assault. Usually our meetings are more civil. Your
< economic arguments and portrayal of the deeply flawed regulatory structure
< were on point in my view. Unfortunately, I am skeptical that we shall
< have anything other than a solution skewed by political expediency in
< California and shall be paying the high cost of those blunders for many
< years to come. I hope your message gets through to our legislators and
< urge you to continue to speak to Californian audiences, despite the
< unpleasant reception you will probably get. I think you made a real step
< forward in bridging the gap in public understanding tonight.
