As I have said - I am often wrong. However me being wrong does not make everything else right. Posting simply to shooting me down will not change anything much - will it? I am at least putting something up to be shot at......

I think the general sense peoole are indicating in their posts is that your metaphor has a flaw in it-- it's not your board, it's Max's. For you to hope to advise about it would require you to be his peer- a board owner yourself.

I had thought that it was obvious that for the purposes of my story only, that I was Max. But I am often wrong.
