[Community-Discuss] Resignation

[Owen DeLong]

There are legitimate reasons for Mark to be fearful of remaining on such a board. I am unable to go into details on the advice of counsel, but I respect Mark’s decision even though I am disappointed by it.

I, too, had hoped he would remain a lone voice for sanity in a mostly failing board.
