yes you are right that it looked not good for the board at that time,
and we were all aware of that and nobody on the board at that time was
happy about that. But in my opinion this is the responsibility of the
board. A board should make decisions according to if it is right or

Hello Alec,
it is so interesting that you mentioned the idea of the board as a
government. It reminds me of a blog post of Gerard during the election
in which he said that he is candidating but he don't want to be a

First of all, in my opinion this should not be a discussion about language
