As a member I have elected talk board candidates to represent me and my voice in discussions. I don't feel a need, nor should all members feel a need to have to participate in talkboard discussion. Those elected should represent well and if the members want to chime in do so. I have more time to devout to my life and work etc. then feeling like I have to quality control talkboard elected members with my opinion. If elected I would certainly vote for all those who have a life and are living it.
