So many of us were led astray by this moron. Lesson - do your own due diligence.

In our desire to find someone, anyone, who could replace Collins, we put on blinders and accepted someone, anyone, presented to us. Platner has a lot of good attributes that made it possible to jump on his bandwagon. What a tragic waste.
