If I wasn't in such a fantastic mood ...

... I'd probably write a long post about the kind of lack of imagination that would have to be inherent in someone for them to accept the kind of weak-minded aphorism of which "better the devil you know" is a shining example as the sole basis on which to make a decision like the board are faced with. Or even worse, to justofy avoiding making a desicion at all.

But I'm in a good mood, so I won't do any of that.
