Well, if Otteson should be the respected figure we've all assumed he is, then who hired him should not come into play any longer, as his professional ethics should override any personal relationship. I realize that's an idealistic view, but if it's NOT the view Otteson espouses and practices, then IMO, he'd be the equivalent of "lipstick on a pig", lol, ie. a dressed up version of Leckrone palatable for public digestion. Based on what I've heard of him (inadmissable hearsay in reality) I don't get that opinion. I feel he's more balanced and cognizant of the totality of who he's representing. Let's hope so, anyway.
