Interesting:

Among the reasons Mr. Byrne says he may leave that post is disagreement with one of his sons -- Overstock Chief Executive Patrick Byrne -- over the amount of time the younger Mr. Byrne is spending on a highly public battle with short-sellers and analysts the son alleges are conspiring to damage the company's stock.

"After the shareholder meeting [in April] this year, I'm going to give some serious consideration of whether I'm going to stay as chairman of the board," the elder Mr. Byrne said in a phone interview, speaking from Park City, Utah. "Patrick and I have had some wonderful times together on Overstock, but we've also had some stormy times. I'd rather keep my relationship with my son than be the chairman of the board of another company," said the 74-year-old.
