Well this is a difference.  The statement made that I questioned said 
unequivocally that Tim Ryan had been illegally dumped from the 
Board.  Nothing about "attempt" at all.

This, like your comment, was reported here on TheForge.  It was some time 
last Winter if I remember correctly.  That's why I was questioning the 
statement that he had been "dumped", which to the best of my knowledge 
never happened.  But the truth has never stopped some people from making 
untrue statements against the Board.

He managed to make the comment while preparing for surgery.  Why would 
follow up be so out of the question?
