Just out of curiosity... Did you ever feel it might have been useful
for Erik to publicly
tell the world at large precisely why he left the role of CRO?

I recall Erik making a grandiloquent stament about how he felt he and
Jimbo could
not live together in a house, because their egos supposedly were too large.

I infact have yet to see any evidence that Eriks evaluation of Jimbos
ego was correct.

I freely admit this query is only for my own curiosity.
