Does LA affect Leadership score?

[Silva Stormrage]

Simple question, I couldn't tell if ECL and LA affected leadership score which is based on character level.

[Rhynn]

Character Level = Hit Dice = Class Levels + Racial HD

Effective Character Level = Character Level + Level Adjustment

So, without checking the wording, LA does not affect your Leadership score (but cohorts are based on the cohort's ECL).
