if I were him I would probably not even read the board, unless it lights a fire under him. It sounds like he is motivated enough as it is, he doesn't need our negativity to rally him. As it stands, on the surface of Tivus, there isn't much to be excited about at the moment, but the insight of folks like yourself and the others who have spoken to him gives at least (some) of us some hope. I will certainly not fault his effort or his motive, but he has done some things that are indefensible IMO and from where I'm standing, an "A" for effort doesn't help the shareholders much. If you are reading this Shiva, I still have hope, don't let me (or your kids who want to go to college) down please :)
best.
