I too have a photo of me with my arm around BW's shoulder, as does my younger daughter (due to Sue and Stu giving us pre-show passes to meet the man as well as acting as photographers). This in no ways makes me or her any closer to him than I was 5 minutes before the photos were taken and I don't for one moment think that this was any more meaningful than the many more that were taken with fans before or since. Whats more claiming to be a so called friend of Brian doesn't necessarily make you a good person...ask Donna! The people who frequent this board are knowledgable, generous and they'll hate me for saying this a nice bunch to keep in touch with (Iwouldn't lend them a cent/penny though). Most still post on the blueboard (all too rarely) and as for being banned, well often without good cause or explanation (something that happened to many others who choose not to post here). BTW I'm Gordon, I've been told we may have met?
