Harvey, PARA, Tweeter… Can’t imagine why all 3 are gone with such expertise at their disposal. 
Dave—The common factor for each of those three is that their demise occurred long, long after Deborah’s tenure. They needed her more than they knew!
Jason,
I’ve always respected what you have written & posted in the past. However, I’ll be more than happy to send you the private e-mails I’ve received this morning from other industry leaders that told me I was way too polite in my original comment. I wish her only the best of luck in this venture, but I’d rather seek advice from a Best Buy salesman.
