Bah, I give up.. How many times have I told you, Daniel, that your family |
2 |
should come FIRST (INCLUDING financially).. I've even said that in PERSON. |

My questions were not to imply that you should go broke or hungry, yet you |
4 |
come off like I am trying to attack you here.. |
5 |
|
6 |
I'll be taking myself out of this list as to not cause you and your family any |
7 |
more pain.. |

As a final word of advice, you may want to consider an odd number of people on |
10 |
the board. Having an even number can cause deadlock on voting issues where |
11 |
just a majority is required. |
