I was most relieved to read that final comment Al as I was very concerned that I had been a party to creating a situation where you two fine people were sniping at each other I would have commented earlier but a busy week including a foray into deepest Pennsylvania left me bereft of time. But I felt I should comment before moving on to a few thoughts from Glenside and Redding

Rather than continue to infiltrate semi-private shenanigans on the great unwashed public who wish to read only about Gord on this forum - and that is in itself a very laudable aim I will content myself here by saying that this did indeed start as a joking around sort of social interchange between the hemispheres ,I did say in a private message or email to that other bloke long ago that I appreciated his sense of humo(u)r which was almost good enough to qualify him as an honorary Englishman, Since then I have been highly amused by his puerile efforts to display pictures by quite unecesarily (in most cases) saving them from their original web location then uploading to image shack.Our interchange was purely meant for our own enjoyment but if
it amused a few of you too all the better.it is obviously regrettable that some readers were offended and in particular I regret that Al had to have a go at Janice as I respect the contributions here by both of them. I do note that it was Steve who broke the unwritten rule by allowing his insults to spill over to this main forum on August 20th in his rude/crude
response to my genuine concern at the logging in problem I alone seemed to encounter and reported on at:-
http://www.corfid.com/ubb/ultimatebb...c;f=1;t=003342
Note that this all started in a test forum topic at:-
http://www.corfid.com/ubb/ultimatebb...c;f=3;t=000153
which was a serious disertation on how large in pixels a picture should be to display here without overlapping the available
message space and thereby causing a scrolling problem.On July 29th the Sydney hooligan hijacked that topic to rant at me most unfairly I then used the small talk forum to add to a
topic that man had started at:-
http://www.corfid.com/ubb/ultimatebb...c;f=2;t=000672
where to be fair he had stated that his intention was "aimed at a smile for our special Corfid people" This backfired when somebody hiding behind the notion of "friendship" found too much inappropriateness there saying so in a
manner reminiscent of the late unlamented punk "Dunkin Michael Douglas the turd".
OK OK enough enough already I will now conclude by referring you back to that small talk topic where I will express my thanks
to my loyal supporters here.

Elsewhere on the internet I posted that I
"haunt another ultimate bulletin board devoted to my other main musical hero who was
fortuitiously mentioned by historian Jerry in the topic:-
"artists from Canada" at:-
http://talk.buddyholly.com/groupee/f...063#6610040063
Yes
Gordon Lightfoot is his name"
I then displayed corfid style that great Massey Hall picture
all this on the
topic
"New Artists Influenced by Buddy Holly section!"
on the Buddy Holly Discussion board at:-
http://talk.buddyholly.com/groupee/f...3/r/6220047363
where "groupee" is a similar UBB board provider to "infopop" that Florian uses here
