Re: The role of the advisory board

Dave,

The RSS Advisory Board is the only place to go for RSS help. James runs tests to determine the usability of various RSS elements and knows more about the usability of the RSS elements than anyone. Rogers answers almost every user question. We wrote an RSS profile (Best Practices) and an RSS discovery specification. The other members pop their heads in here from time-to-time to help out as well. Support and promote RSS? That's what we do. 

The board runs two public mailing lists; rss-board and rss-public. rss-board is for board members only to post. rss-public is for everyone to post. If you (a non-board member) want to post, then you post in rss-public. That's the way it works.

You were on the board and quit. I thought we (Spring 2007) had a deal where you would rejoin the board. Then you simply dropped out of the conversation and ignored us.

You can't pop your head in here every two years and re-iterate the same complaints over-and-over and expect for us to take you seriously. We've answered your concerns several times already. If we reach a compromise again, will you simply walk away from it again? Fool me once.

Thanks,

Randy
