Whoa! Back the truck up! Endorsing a good ol' boy/clique system and questioning whether one exists and if it does, asking if there a legitimate reason for giving the appearance of one (i.e., nobody wants to serve), are totally different things.

I tend to skim some posts but it seems like they are questioning you Jim on whether or not women have been excluded. I think they are wondering if any women have ever attempted to be on the BOD. Maybe their point is that you cant call it exclusion if no women ever volunteered.
i can open doors but if no women ever walk through, dont accuse me of not opening doors for women.
I know what I have heard but at this time, I have no particular stance on the issue until I have more info. So dont construe this post as argument. I am jsut trying to clarify (if only for my own benefit) what everyone is saying. hope it helps.

Well said, bama. I, too, don't have a stance on this because I don't have enough info to make an informed decision. I've really got no reason to think discrimination exists -- or that it doesn't.
The fact that someone presents a different perspective or point of view doesn't necessarily mean they are disagreeing with you -- it could just be that they're playing the role of devil's advocate or asking you to consider that other positions exist. Things are very often not just black or white ("if you''re not fore me, you're ag'in me"), but varying shades of gray. Precisely what shade things are often comes from what angle you're viewing them from.

From my reading of their posts, it did not seem that Sandra nor Macca were making the case for change.
I think they were makin' the case fer figgerin' out what the case is before they decide what case to make out of it. Or, in Latin, is the status in tow, the actual status in quo?
If you flush some critter out that needs blastin', I reckon we'll all he'p you blast it. You gotta let us get a good look at it first.

Bob Dole gets it.
I will resist the urge to make a good ole boy network reference here.
Now, ahem, back to the topic at hand.....
