I think the fact that there is about x:1 people standing for the
board/fesco with one view vs the other. The same reasons Kevin gives for
nobody who shares his view as having motiviation for running for the
board, can just as easily be applied to everyone who doesn't share his
view. As one of the people who is too "busy doing actual work" to run
for the board I see my views reflected by the x members of the
board/fesco as opposed to the one. So it probably stacks up like a the
majority of people don't care, the next sizeable minority agree with the
decision, and the final group disagree and make most noise, and hence
seem to imply they are largest.

Dave.
