You said earlier,
"You were previously nominated for membership, which is like being a
stockholder in the LLG corporation. Now you've been nominated to sit
on the board of directors. Your name gets put down on a piece of paper
sent to the state of Virginia, you get on the magical top secret
mailing list, and you get to vote on the officers of the corporation."

Other than the last clause this isn't much of a difference from a
functional perspective. It says nothing about qualifications or
responsibilities. Tommy Whitlock is completely absentee, and for all
we know might be dead. But because he's a founder, we're not dropping
him. So obviously the standard is quite low. If I'm gonna be the same
as a guy who, for all we know, doesn't even possess the qualification
of a breathing warm body, I don't know why I need to know the
difference between the membership and the board. Know what I mean?
