Ellen and all,
Well of course we are all quite aware of Esthers disingenuous practices. It
is
nearly legendary, and becoming more so as time passes. Her, and the
illegitimately elected new board members, Jonathan Cohen most especially
of course will parrot whatever Esther wishes. But given Mr. Cohen's
extra curricular activities with females much his junior in Canada a few
years back and the fact that this has been publicly revealed of late,
I for one am not too surprised.
