You are applying the "heroic effort of an overworked individual"  
solution to the problem. The overworked individual being you on this  
subject and thank you very much for volunteering!

What I'm really baffled about is that the OIDF doesn't seem to ever be  
able to apply any other kind of solution to any problem.

The meta-problem is that "heroic effort of an overworked individual"  
is not sustainable and can never create something like an organization  
that has good customer/member service, that plans and executes any  
kind of sustainable campaign on anything, or, unfortunately, that has  
a lasting value proposition.

I had thought that it was simply the old board that couldn't manage to  
shift gears. The new board is substantially different in composition  
but it still has the exact same problem. Perhaps even worse so.

The question is why, and can it be fixed? Because if it can't ...
