The host of this bulletin board is very much aware that TalkBoard,
which he established, is charged with making recommendations to him and that he retains the right to accept those recommendations or not.
IMHO, a TalkBoard member should vote according to what he believes is the best course for FT to follow. I am not one of the people who say that a TalkBoard member should go along with whatever a majority of posters on a particular issue say -- but he should also not just tell Randy what he believes (or even knows) Randy prefers to hear.
TalkBoard members were voted into office to use their own judgment and to vote accordingly. This may wind up making a particular member unpopular, perhaps even costing him re-election, or it might cause Randy to be unhappy with that member -- but neither possibility should be a concern.
