	You're going to need to document this rather
	bald allegation if you wanted to have it taken
	at all seriously.

	You need to attend a board meeting or two in order
	to have a a realistic basis with which to pass
	judgement.  Please note that the board and most
	of the TFN are volunteers - things don't get done
	mostly because there is far more to do than there
	are volunteers to do them.  If you don't like
	something, the best way to try to fix it is to
	get involved & put your own best effort into it
	(otherwise you are subject to the criticism that
	you are taking potshots while sitting on your
	own collective ass 8^)...
