See, I kept thinking that there would be a consolidator and Stryker would do the consolidating and J&J’s spinning off its orthopedics, too. And it has not come true… And I’m kind of bummed because I thought that that group, which was Zimmer, Biomet, and Stryker, I thought they would work out something, and they haven’t, and it’s been a real tough run.
