Oops either me or corfid cannot count
I had carefully (I thought) calculated that my previous mesage would have brought my "johnfowles" total to 4000 (it does but only if you add in the first one in this thread made as John Fowles not my later one word johnfowles moniker so addimng in tht solitsry posting it is then exactly 4000 so maybe it was better that way anyway even if more by accident than design!!).
Note that in the listing here the originator of this thread is shown as
"Wes Steele" (the well known Taverner) but don't be fooled by the duplicity of some old archived messages where the same message is now oddly attributed to two different members. but I know that I posted it first on September 20th 1999 so there! I have also realised that on my Newsgroup history web page I had not given an actual link to Florian's historic announcement of his new creation the oddly named "corfid" web site his new Newsgroup thread on September 20th 1999 it was and is at:-
http://www.floriancorfid.notlong.com
Florian had said
"The website includes lyrics to all songs, a discussion forum, a quiz, tour
dates, a collection of press articles and more
I hope it will attract new fans to
the music of Gordon Lightfoot as well as benefit current fans"
he continued
I know that many posters in this newsgroups are experts about Gordon
Lightfoot and his work, so please support me to keep this website helpful,
entertaining and resourceful to Gordon Lightfoot fans
I think he succeeded brilliantly
Err Umm Florian
"tour dates" yes but why is the home page index of contents now almost 18 months out of date and still showing links to Wayne's 2008 tour page not 2010 or 2011 even???
