It may not be very difficult to get him or me out of the board.
But let me warn you it is very difficult to bring them back.  We
havent even heard any response from him, possibly because he
doesn't read the mails from the list.  With all these comments
and demands already made, I doubt if he would chose to be.

Regarding the baord members becoming `owners' of the company.
Dont worry.  So far the board members have not even signed the
papers.  So it is better that we reconstitute the board before
all of you entrust this on a board.
