I can't guarantee that the Board will agree with you, but I do promise we'll give serious consideration to all the feedback we get from the community.You're really not getting it. I'm not saying there are specific things you shouldn't be doing. I'm saying you should be doing less. It really doesn't matter what you cancel, but it is time you showed a bit of leadership and made some difficult decisions.
