Yes, it's precisely why I voted yes on reducing the number of directors. I felt the other side had a lot of strong arguments for voting no, but I don't think it makes any sense given that only a few people care much about being on the board anyway as this obviously demonstrates. I thought things might change this time because of the huge discussion (in particular, Jeff's emails) and so I was a little hesitant to vote the way I did, but now I'm feeling very satisfied that I voted correctly. BTW, speaking as just an individual, I STRONGLY encourage everyone to give special consideration to voting FOR those who nominated themselves early. I personally feel that these people are those who really want to be on the board and make it better. According to my quick rescanning of the archives (someone please correct me if I'm wrong), this list includes: Quim Gil Dave Neary I'll be voting for both and will likely include any that send in their candidacy *soon*. I may still vote for those that nominate at the last minute, but I will count it as a mark against them. I personally encourage others to do likewise.
