bayfisherii and miamidrift-
I largely agree with your responses, but they do not address any reason for thinking the board has any INFLUENCE on EHRE. Influence would mean having an impact on decisions made by the company, and the closest your replies came to indicating that was responses from Keeney - and that's his job, PR.
I don't ever remember having seen any evidence of influence imposed by the board, and quite frankly would be dismayed is such occurred; there is simply no one here that has the inside knowledge that qualifies them to have influence, singly or in concert.
