It remains new stuff for many people. Not every veteran is always going to be in the mood to talk about things they've talked about a hundred times before, but there should be one or two people who can muster the patience to give a civil, maybe even warm answer any given hour on QZ. A conversation is a bit like the Olympics. Once one starts anything can happen, including things wonderful and unanticipated. Instead we seem to end up with a lot of virtual eye rolling and "Here we go again!". It's a bit ridiculous and a lot cynical. If you have nothing left to say people totally get that, but I at least don't get the desire to bring things down for everybody else.

You're right. The only exception I'd make is to those godawful "when did Fred get Aids" topics and the endless variations on the same topic.

I may be right, but as I am Canadian and this is the summer of 2012 there are almost certainly at least two people somewhere in the world slightly more right then I am. :)

Peter Freestone started working for Fred in 1979/80 so we know when he got one of his aids.
