It is not this kind of question I mean, Ingrid, this one is not really rude.
But if you read through the forum there are so many impertinent posts which make me feel sad.
With Guy's forum we really got something new that we haven't had before, but...
I don't take it too seriously, Ingrid, because I'm tooooo much looking forward to the tour and of course to meeting you again!

The rudeness seems to be limited to Brazilians, Italians and the odd bloke from England  ;D

That od bloke from England, if you mean Dan SW3, he is Spanish!!!!! But lives in London, proud of sharing the postal code with MK...

Well then, that explains everything  ;D  ;)

But joking aside, I have had the same thoughts as surferboy. The GF forum is a rare opportunity for us fans to get to ask those questions you've always wanted to know more about. Behind the scenes.

I would hate it if GF packed up and left.

On the other side, Guy´s forum is seen too as the place to complain and hope that it gets to MK One way or ther other, like a way to have a communication with MK and say not only what you like but also what you don´t...

The thing is that some have manners, some don´t, and some have a bad English and end sounding rude when probably it wasn´t their intention.

Guy can be pretty rude and dismissive himself so its really no surprise that people respond the same way.

On the contrary I think that Guy is far too patient and accommodating: some questions are so silly or impolite that wouldn't deserve a reply.

I can only agree with you Rudiger and I don't mean that funny story about MK's shirts!! Some people are asking everything and nothing sometimes and Guy is indeed very patient!!! :wave

Guy's forum seems to have gone a bit quiet over the last few days.

I'm hoping he is very busy sorting out MK's radical new set list  ;)

I don't post anymore on Guy forum.

First something has changed and second I don't want to bore him with question that actually have to be asked to Mark.Two and a half, I have already asked about TOL (many years ago).

Guys forum is boring/stale/pointless, which is a massive shame as he seems such a nice chap. To be fair to Guy though, 99% of the questions are boring/stale/pointless. I never post there as I've never got anything interesting to say as you may have gathered from this post.  ;D

In most cases I think Guy is very tolerant.  For example, there is a person who keeps on shouting questions at him with little or no punctuation.  Today's question just about takes the biscuit, but Guy's answer is perfect!    ;D     Long live Guy's Forum, I say!    ;)

Exactly why I have never joined.  Nearly every question is about Mark and I think that is not really very nice, after all it is Guy's forum!  You can't really blame folk and I wouldn't really have anything to ask a keyboard player but some people do get impertinent.

Some of Guy's answers show a certain amount of disrespect IMO though.

Guy make is making a living form working for Mark. And is professionally close to Mark so it is natural that Mark related question arise. Over the years I have learned about what you can ask Guy and what he won't answer.
