Nothing I said was revolutionary nor an ultimatum. I said, as has
always been true, that if the community disapproves of the performance
of certain board members it will become evident in the next board
election. I said this precisely to prevent further devolving here on
foundation-l: Emails are ignored, so save your opinions for the next
election. All our opinions can be heard then.

I didn't say the entire board lacked commitment, and I didn't say that
any one particular member of the board did. Maybe all board members
are perfectly committed to our community. The general opinion on all
these things will become evident before too long.
