"Randy had faith in his appointees to the Talkboard"
To the best of my knowledge, Randy still has full faith in his appointees (the old/resigned ones: Punki, svpii, dorian and me, and the new ones), and I see now reason why he shouldn't.
And yes, I don't know of any still activ founder member of that 'other' board (and trust me, I know them very well), that would judge that 'other' board a failure.
