I won't repeat my anti-Ozawa diatribe here, but as far as I know, the
dissatisfaction with Ozawa has been the case to one extent or another
for many years.  I remember a local critic writing that he should move
on around his tenth or fifteenth year (and I think it was his tenth).  It
was a pretty long article that critic wrote, and I wish I could remember
who and when it was.

Anyway, my point in writing is just to say that as far as I know, this is
not a case of being tired of someone after twenty-five years.  It's been
much longer than that.  Someone might know better than I (I came to Boston
in 1982), but I seem to recall hearing that there was opposition even when
he was appointed.
