There should be only one limitation on TalkBoard members--they need to get the most votes from the general FlyerTalk membership. Let's remember, that TalkBoard exists only to represent the general FlyerTalk membership. Period, dot, end.

If the majority of FlyerTalkers want to be represented by members who have previoiusly been suspended or even banned, (and evidentally that is the the case) so be it. It is apparent that the public has spoken.
