Few people I could connect with would want to even be involved with a private board so it's a non-issue. Why on earth would I envy people who were involved in something I find so repugnant? I think the reasons for not liking the idea were made pretty clear by Dinah, and they didn't involve envy, it's a matter of rudeness and elitism.
