[Harp-L] Re: Gig notices

[thurgood@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

In defence of Shrimp Daddy (usual disclaimers apply) who posted the 
gig notice that seems to have caused the distress:  as I read it, he gave
the date, time, name of venue, a phone number, and the name of the city 
- Port Credit.  True, not one of the world's major centres, but a name
familiar I think to most Canadians; certainly to those in Ontario, which
is a sizeable chunk of the country's populace.  If I'm wrong, other
Canuckians can chime in ... (Not that it much matters in the grand 
scheme of things, I suppose).
