Good taste as I define it, of course. Someone who can show an friendship to a wide range of aesthetic positions.

Don Share has good taste. I hope he is staying on. The vibe I'm feeling seems like that could maybe be in question.

But Barr out and Wiman out does get one thinking something larger might be going on.
