Duffy: If you have exhausted your tirade about MBA's I can point you to an equal (or greater) number of geeks whose IQ's were in the stratosphere and had the common sense of a three year old. My point was not that Mark and the Board are incompetent but that they have chosen to start a business with a team that is unbalanced in terms of skill sets. If you have an opportunity pick up a copy of todays Wall Street Journal. They have an entire "Small Business" section devoted to "Start-Ups". After interviewing hundreds of startup executiives they report that the biggest gaps they had in experience was "Lack of Sales Experience" followed in a tie for second "Lack of Management Experience". Mark has chosen to surround himself with the folks that he is most comfortable with: other scientists and colleagues that he has worked with in the past. There is a single Board member who is an "outsider" with a business background representing your interests as opposed to management's interests. If you are comfortable with that situation, so be it. I am not.
