I didn't read the transcripts that closely, so I can't say. I hope others are digging into that now. Maybe R99?
As for Gray, his relationhip to us is strange. He never psoted at the DZ, nor here. When others have asked him about that he shrugged, saying that he didn't want any part of the brawling that occurs here with some frequency.
But being an isolate has cost him - and whoever has been supporting his efforts - writing the book, researching it, promoting it and running the 2011 Symposium, sending him back out for the 2013 Tacoma Symposium, and now he wants to jump back into the Vortex with his 179 pages of Hot Stuff? GG is not a flash in the pan, nor is he a lightweight Norjak romper room writer.
But GG has some blind spots. I don't think he really knew what his writing about Norman Hayden would trigger.
So, we're seeing some serious action in Cooper World these days. GG is back in the game and is clearly talented and capable, with plenty of resources. Tom Colbert has 40 feddie-teddies working with him, plus the hot shot Zaid in DC, law suites pending, FOIA, and enough press agents to get his story in front of every editor across the country. He was even pitching to the Morning Dose folks, who called me because he came on so strong with them.
And we have our little gallant gang of men (and a few lassies like Smokin'99 and Evick) chasing down whatever blows our way in the wind. We are not insubstantial at all. Just underfunded and well, emotionally needy too, it appears... ahem. But I digress.
Good times in the Vortex, for sure, though.
Is the Snow Signal Up? How much mountain climbing can that fellow do? Besides El Capitan is falling down. Time to visit the cousins, Uncle Brucie, and the new distant relatives here. Could get interesting.
