Since you also mentioned my name, I just want to respond that when I read your first post, I kind of got the impression that you were sincere in what you said. I really didn't see it as a Gord put-down. As much as we hate to think of Gord not being with us, I know that maybe sometimes we have the same question in our minds.
I'm a screenwriter and I know all too well (as does Silver Heels whom you also mentioned) that the written word can sometimes be sadly misconstrued and taken the wrong way. It all depends on your state of mind when you're reading it. (If you're already angry about something, what is written could make you angry because you see it in a different light.) It's so much harder to get across what you want to say when you only have words to put on paper without the voice inflections and body language to go along with it.
If I'm correct and you WERE sincere in what you said, then I'm sure the people here who misconstrued it just made a mistake in understanding you. So please find it in your heart to understand their misunderstanding and have a little forgiveness. We all make mistakes. I don't know about the people who post here now (most of them are strangers anymore), but the ones who used to post here regularly do all share a deep affection for Gord and a love for his music. If that makes us weird, then so be it. But there is a website or discussion board for just about anyone you want to discuss. And people that visit them are just as passionate as anyone here. Please don't judge us harshly because we share a penchant for a certain artist's music.
LOL! Now I probably WILL be beaten about the head and shoulders yet again, but (sigh) so be it.
Stay loose, eh?
