I agree. 9/11 was indeed very sad.

And it had about as much to do with this announcement as Ben's departure from Node last year.

Yeah, whole different level of sadness I hope though.

Again, no need to be agressive, it's not that idiotic to ping the past when we talk about the futur.

"Last year" is a funny way to frame 2 months ago.

Really, what happened 2 months ago was just the tail end of what had taken many months to build up. I say "last year", because it started much earlier, as Ben alluded to in his parting message.

People outside a team rarely have much insight into the day to day relationships. That's just how it works. That's what a "team" is.
