[GSBN] Libraries can still burn

[Jacob Racusin]

Bruce,

Sometimes, it's not until you lose something that you realize how valuable
it is. I tried to access the BuildWell Library last night for some info,
and then 30 minutes later saw your email. Your service to our community has
not gone unnoticed, and I am so sorry to hear of the attack on your
websites. I'm glad that no physical harm as come, yet it is an attack
nonetheless - may the recovery come swiftly, thank you for everything you
do as a leader in this community!

All the best,
Jacob
