I think Gordon went fishing today a`la Don Alm....

Gordon of plaguarism.....I was looking for the hitch that Taylor spoke of - the thing we all missed. So I just took a wild guess and wondered if that was it. Not that Gordon was going to literally plaguarize someone!

Taylor said, and I quote, "I can assure you ALL that we failed to read the entire letter..... because of all the excitement the letter caused each of us emotionally we totally missed something most pertinent. "

So it seems as if we are all missing something here and Gordon is waiting to see if somebody figures it out.

I think!
