danno...it is perspective, I guess. If Goldberg "knew" Ray before he was "recommended", he made a despicable maneuver. How can one "know" Ray and then appoint him to the corporate board. We can dance all around that one as much as we please, but the answer will be totally unacceptable. No excuse whatsoever for either "knew" or "recommended". Sorry, no backpeddling on that one. His decision stinks for you shareholders.
