I think the "caretaker! in his first outraged response to my posting about gord's new message board tried to say that I was one of those who only dropped in here to promote our own selfish interests (or words to that effect)(but because he has since then mysteriously deleted all but one of his postings the exact words he used are now lost.)I have just rediscovered Florian's first corfid site advert on the Newsgroup alt.music.lightfoot it was in his posting dated Sept 20th 1999.
As always with the archived newsgroup accessed via Google Groups at http:///www.newsgroup.shorturl.com
I used the excellent search facility at the top of the opening page. Just ensure the box "search only alt.music.lightfoot" is checked/(ticked to English readers).
If you type in the name of just about any Lightfoot song for which you have a query there is a very high chance that it has been discussed in the Newsgroup in the past
I have also refound this topic (my own first corfid posting) and hope to be able to contribute more in due course. For example
I have undoubtedly missed over the years since 1999 several worthy and interesting topics so I will post again to request reader's favo(u)rite topics which I would like to publicise on the newsgroup for readers there to enjoy
Also I am in the final stages of a major revamp of my Lightfoot "Webring" and will be adding a separate link to this Discussion Forum
Meanwhile for what it is worth it is at http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot
