OSTK Directors: Board or Bored?

Posted by John Carney, May 11, 2006, 2:23pm

Jeff Matthews asks a completely reasonable question: what is going on with the Board of Directors of Overstock.Com? At least a few of the directors seem to be sensible, well-regarded folks. Are they celebrating yesterday’s subpoena news with CEO Patrick Byrne? Or are they just bored with being directors and not really paying attention?

I cannot imagine that being a director at Overstock.Com is boring. To the contrary, shouldn’t being a lightsaber wielding jedi preparing to do battle with the Sith be just about the best job ever?

I mean, what else could a director ask for? Other than a Harley, obviously.

Hey guys what is Overtock.Com?

Aren't your ad sales good enough to afford a copyeditor?

Thanks. I just fired my assistant for letting that error slip through. Which I guess means another summer intern slot just opened. Send in your resumes!
