Just did a quick forum search to see if Gil has been on here much. Using that name in the search box brought up several postings with the letters G-i-l in various names. Ironically, the earliest was someone in Australia. There was only one posting with just "Gil", so, I would suspect we've been flamed by someone looking for music sites to vent his obvious prejudices.

My favourite quote from the Wizard of Oz seems good advice for all of our dear Mudcateers in OZ: "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" i.e. curtain of intolerance, anger, and prejudice!

Most of us on here would NEVER judge a country by so few! Besides, our own preparations for the Olympics in Salt Lake City, which are spilling over into Wyoming, haven't been free of controversy, etc.

To Gil: it may sound trite, but remember, when one points a finger, three fingers point back at them!

Katlaughing & loving the Aussies!!!
