Its true, When you first start following RCSE, you jump on the I hate Gordy's post bandwagon. The amount of time you waste reading his posts cements that in you for a while (damn it is happening right now). Then you meet him, and he is so nice and personable, you flip flop and start to really like him. Then he writes public emails that he includes you in, which are usually a bit false (innocently enough) and the cycle starts over again. I think allot of our animosity from his posts start with a bit of jealousy over how much he gets to travel and fly. But that Travel and fly time is inversely proportional to his eat dinner with the family time. So in the end, I wouldn't trade places, no matter how much I like glider vacations.
Lesson to Gordy, write half as much, think and edit twice as much, and submit to magazines. You will further our sport and be revered for your writing. We will all chant Go Gordy.
