Eric,
I was sorry to see you go.
Your time at USSC reminds me of the movie "Life of Pi".
Not quite the elephant...more like the tiger. LOL
You have a lot to bring to the industry and to the manufacturer's TRUE values, so desperately needed.
Personally, I believe you'll have the best presence and impact as a "game changer" this way.
You've always got my support and interest.
Keep up the great work and I'm certain our paths will meet again.
Until then, take care friend!
