Please elaborate. I would really like to get all you can contribute.

Richard, don't embarrass Bruce. He doesn't need your help.

I have been with this project and know Bruce Momjian for more than 10
years. Every now and then, Bruce and I get into some sort of eventually
publicly visible dispute that doesn't really mean much. I'll probably
spend next Christmas with him and his family again, play a few rounds of
backgammon with Wilma (who I really owe a revenge), hopefully don't
interfere too much with Christine's work (especially when it involves
handling food over a white carpet) and none of us will even remember
this crap. Our friendship has been through some real tests. Any real
problem we would have, we'd never discuss here. We would just meet and
talk.
