geocappy1, it is amazing that boards such as this do not become synergistic collections of individuals, all working toward a common purpose but it never happens. If every board member had a common purpose, there would be no acrimony. Each member would bring all he could to the table and take away all he could learn. Different members with different backgrounds may have different perspectives but since each member has the same goal, being invested in a company they think will make them a profit and have a little fun in the process, each tries to help the others. If a board member wrongly perceives a situation, etc. other board members may cordially explain the misperception. No member would intentionally mislead another board member.
