-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Thanks for letting us know, Justin. I wish I could say I didn't see it coming, but with all the stress we're all under and BS that we're dealing with, it's a tough time for all directors. I don't remember agreeing to deal with bad stuff when I started doing this, I thought it was all happiness and roses!
Seriously though, it's sad to see you go, you've done a great job in the past couple years. Things suck right now, and will keep sucking for a little while longer. Hopefully once we get this sticky situation resolved, things will go better.
