Preston, I hope everything works out with Bruce. I can't imagine the stress he must be going through. If he ever gets worried about keeping his skills up, send him my way. I'll volunteer! I don't know much about defimation lawsuits, especially ones in the US. Sorry.
You're a great guy to have around the board, Preston. It's great that you got a new job! You will, however, be sorely missed here.
