Been doing these things for a decade and a half Leif. I even ran for
the Board, and once gave a technical lightning talk up on stage. If
you didn't notice, that alone would suggest a disconnect between the
AC and the general public.

Been down that road before too, when I worked as the Internet
Infrastructure Manager for the Democratic National Committee. And when
I left the role, unwilling to accept my boss' failure to manage his
conflict of interest. It's very easy for an insider to lose sight of
the important abstractions.
