I pretty much feel the same way. I understand why it was done, I used to be an avid supporter of reducing the number of seats on the board, but in the end, I don't think it was done for the right reasons, nor were alternatives properly canvassed. That said, the referendum was *advisory* only, as it falls to the directors alone to make a change to the number of seats on the board. It has yet to be announced (by the board) that the number of seats will actually change. :-) - Jeff -- Ubuntu USA & Europe Tour: Oct-Nov 2005 http://wiki.ubuntu.com/3BT "They cosset us with trappings to shut us up.
