Well, that's an interesting comment. I mean, I'm not going to do something, hopefully, knee-jerk. You've seen a lot of things happen, huge multiples being paid for companies and things like that. So I think we've been fairly consistent. And when you go back to a real downturn, like you had in 2009, that actually was fertile ground for Landstar to go out and recruit agents and whatnot, and Pat has addressed, I think, some of the quality of the agents we're currently bringing in. So as certain things slow down, it actually, over the term, will benefit Landstar as you move into future years, as far as people that we get into this pipeline. I mean, our objective is, obviously, we want to grow as fast as we can, all right? But on the other hand, we're going to basically also look at profitable growth, and that's what we're trying to get to. And I think our margins, we've concentrated on trying to maintain those and I think we've done a pretty good job. I think our variable cost model works out very well. It's an interesting question, but I think in this type of environment, when things get slow, it actually helps us out, I think, going forward from an agent recruiting standpoint. And, Pat, as I said, addressed that in his particular comments. Pat, did you want to add anything to that?
