I've been trying to stay out of this because it's just what Charles  
wants.  But I'll answer this question.

I resigned because at the time a number of us (board members and not)  
were trying to reorganize the project into something that would  
resolve a lot of problems that we had in the organization.  We hoped  
to create transparency, accountability, and give the developers a  
sense of ownership.  We spent ages going back and forth with proposed  
documents and at every turn, Charles refused every draft when he  
finally got around to reading them (as though he and he alone was the  
one who was required to approve of the new structure).  Eventually, I  
was spending so much time butting heads with Charles over it, that I  
punted.

Following this message will likely be one from Charles dispelling all  
of the above.  I have the email transcript to satisfy myself that I'm  
not lying.

I now choose to stop participating in this shared hallucination.
