I should have phrased it "I wonder if he was..."<br /><br />You are the most expert here about the man. He was your friend, mentor, business partner, etc. I never got to meet him & only had a few internet exchanges. I only knew him from the game he created and the many things he wrote and said publicly. That is nothing really to go by and I'm sorry if my words sounded wrong.<br /><br />I do have my own impressions of him and he struck me as someone who didn't like to revisit past annoyances and always seemed to be wanting to put some new iron in the fire. Hence, my analogy of "whatever happens, you keep moving on". <br /><br />Which I shall now do...<br /><br />Ciao, <br />GrendelwulfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1016645013375966173.post-31564042775682261682009-11-10T21:06:02.702-06:002009-11-10T21:06:02.702-06:00Well, I do not feel inclined to comment either way...Well, I do not feel inclined to comment either way. The whole post was an afterthought about something I was thinking about at the moment, so I dug for the anecdote and posted it. I wasn't really thinking then of it as an open discussion or entertaining follow-up as it is a sample only.<br /><br />I will say this: If you never met the man and based feelings and thus opinion of him by internet exchange only, then I will just about guarantee that such impressions were wrong. But I suppose that just about applies for anyone in such circumstances.Rob Kuntzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17648200357715492214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1016645013375966173.post-92224262174125254812009-11-10T20:42:03.916-06:002009-11-10T20:42:03.916-06:00Funny, I was figuring he meant 'Show Boat'...Funny, I was figuring he meant 'Show Boat', like the musical. <br /><br />Gary was sort of like Joe singing "Ol'Man River", just kind of letting those around him know, <br />"Yeah, this has happened, but the river keeps rolling on anyway".<br /><br />;)<br /><br />Ciao, <br />GrendelwulfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1016645013375966173.post-11748063895521772462009-11-10T06:54:33.974-06:002009-11-10T06:54:33.974-06:00Thanks.
