Welcome to the asylum.  :-)

Actually, all of Gordon's articles on the Command Sets are available
on the web in PDF format already as is most of my original publication
and the old surplus conversion manuals, Vol I through III, and I
believe CQ's Command Set conversion book.

But as to being a legend ... Gordon's still quite alive and shows up
here now and then.  Legendage is generally posthumous and we'd really
like to keep him around for a while.  :-)

Those would be tasty.  While converting virginal or restorable sets is
strictly verboten and will result in application of the dreaded Wouff
Hong (or an attack by Mung, the Moribund, and his army of killer
butterflies), already hacked pieces are fair game for such treatment.
I won't speak for anyone else but I'm always interested in seeing what
others have done to the boxen.

That hack's got an overinflated ego with no talent to even begin to
back it.  He even had to have a ghost writer do his living will!
