No shut down of their productivity (self promoting words). Plus ca change! Well said, Gershon.

G'day Gershon … I have often heard that the best thing about the good old days is they're gone, but the sixties and seventies were magical for me. You are correct Gershon, this pandemic has created a social media one as well - thank you Gershon - Lindsay
