I suspect that is the nature of boards. If you are really doing a good job
it's going to be work studying issues and you are going to have to deal
with things not always going your way.

I don't think there is a problem with people doing one term and then returning
back to being a normal community member. I'd rather see a series of people
with fresh ideas and wanting to get something done, then people who are
burnt out trudging on just cause.
