I have not talked or otherwise communicated with Cliff since last year, nor any other member of the BoD.
What has DL directed you to do/say? Whether intentional or not, IMO you are working for him. After all, if he were directing your actions here, they would likely be EXACTLY what you do, over and over again. Congrats for doing a great job, as I'm sure he couldn't be more pleased.
As recently demonstrated, you are happy to believe any accusation HE makes against the BoD, and make much hay of it. Apparently you are ready and willing to trust the word of the one person that, IMO, most here know ABSOLUTELY is not trustworthy. Brilliant!
