Correct - the question was a dumb one imo. It's not like you've never visited the forum before and are unaware of the constraints that Guy has to apply to his answers. Most of your quesstions to Guy are good btw, but not that one.


C'mon - I think LE knew he asked a silly question. It was supposed to sound humorous and invite Guy to play along, just for fun. No need to be nasty and talk about people's intelligence. Back to Guy, as with most forums ironic statements are most often not understood well, and given the fact that there are people who would ask a question like LE's in all seriousness, I guess Guy has all the right in the world to dismiss it with a "duh" (but not a "doh").

i see nothing wrong with dtb's post. he did not talk nasty bout LE's intelligence (see the line where he goes "most of your questions are good btw but not that one."
any Knopfler, Floyd or Dylan will do....

Pottel, If you look back to DTB's first post on the subject, he did, indeed, mention LE's intelligence!  

In any case, it's just a storm in a cup of PG Tips!   ;D

Apologies - no offence intended at all.   Superval, in my first post on the subject I meant that Guy was the one questioning LE's intelligence, not me. It's funny how a sentence can mean one thing to someone and is seen differently by somebody else. ???

DTB, Yes I read it wrongly - I apologise.    :)     As I said it's a storm in a teacup!    ;)

So it was a very poorly chosen wording then. You said that Guy thought it would be a dumb question, you think it was a dumb question, you said that "anyone with an ounce of intelligence would know that he could not give an answer!" Not very subtle.

Actually I empathize with LE, I have just one week left of holydays, and supposed plans are that Mk will be touring the US with Old Boring Bob, but if it happens that MK will tour Europe, I

Actually I sent a question to Guy about it. I think I was a little hard on him, but well, sometimes I get the feeling that they dont mind about the fans at all...

you probably meant "don't CARE" instead of "mind" right?

I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb... and I also know that I'm not blonde.

No offence taken, really. I think we better move on. I am more embarrassed by the fact that in the meantime this stuff fills two pages at this forum than feeling embarrassed by Guy, who never seems to take more time for an answer than it takes to read the question. I can't blame him for that, he has some serious and important work to do, and that's the real thing.
