delusional. Could be he's confusing Lena with Dinah Shore and got

To David Benson:
Join one of the other 3 Lena Horne Yahoo groups, you don't fit in
this one. This group is not moderated and we are ~FREE~ to express
ourselves any way we choose. I advise you not to read the past
messages in this group without dosing heavily with tranquilizers
beforehand.
