Re: Re: The Profile and the Feed Validator

Rogers, please file this as constructive criticism.  After sitting back
and bit and watching this group operate, I see a lot of activity from
you and Randy, some input from James Holderness, and feedback from Sam
with regards to actually putting the recommendations in order.  Very
rarely do the other members of the board speak up for themselves.  As a
result, it gives the appearance that the other board members aren't
really invested in the work puts the work in question; just because the
board members may have voted in favor of the profile doesn't mean they
actually agree with it; it could mean that they just didn't care enough
to disagree with it.
