I agree she should have written in the first post that she was asking in someone else's name, but, I don't think there was any need for this commotion.


I don't think there has been a "commotion", except of course for Luciana's subsequent posts here.  It's all cool. She overreacted. We all do it sometimes.

Why is everyone getting bent out of shape here? No accusations have been made. No one is making fun of anyone.  No one is saying someone isn't "real".

Of course you are welcome here Luciana. I hope you  enjoy visiting here and commenting here in future.

My baby is a very helpful person, and being approached by her blog, just wanted to help a "reader" out. She has a extensive prog rock blog in Portuguese and is an intensive Krautrock researcher (she tries to get me into it, but it's not my cup of tea).
We all know how horrible it is to have a music in your head that you just can't figure out what it is.
(I've spent months with the VdGG's Killers main riff in mine, it ate me away!)
Anyway, I guess that Tom's song is a real mystery, we'll leave that to him.
By the way, I too have another progressive mystery, if anyone can help me out: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75675

Its ok Mr. Gazzardian. 
But i do not understand why some people here doubt that I am a member of this forum since 2004. I'm no fake.This is really me. Despite having a blog about  progressive rock, I never participated in any internet forum other than this which rarely, almost neverposted anything. I'm no criminal. I was just trying to help someone but I did the wrong way. should have identified myself and told that someone had a question about some music that i don´t know. I´ve done wrong to simply copy and paste the doubt of this person.I really apologize abou this mess. I have great admiration for you all at this forum that I'm sure everyone here understands the issue much more than I understand. i really would to be welcome here because I have something to contribute to this forum. I´m no genius about progressive rock but this kind of music is part of my life since 14 years old.

Luciana, don't worry, it's not your gender :) Dean was only confused because the guy who asked for your help asked here before and suddenly the same question was asked by someone completely different.

Sorrythough, I don't know the song. :(

Why you have started this thread using a copy of the same text as a German user posted back in September 2010?


At least we know Tomaraki has all 15 Gil Scott-Heron studio albums.

I´m sorry too. I didn´t mean to cause any problems to you and all moderators. I´m just a woman that really progressive rock and wanted to help some guy that i´ve never seen or even talked. He sent me an email and i was hoping to get some help but everybody here made me feel like stupid.
I have suffered much prejudice for liking a music style that only men dominate. If any of you want to know me better, it will be a pleasure. I have a website about the subject in Brazil that is well respected by all. I think the reason for all this mess is just because i´m a woman.

You are welcome here and there is no intention to humilate you. I just wanted to know why two threads, same question, same words, two different people.
 
Why is everyone trying to make me look like the bad guy?
What?

I´m sorry about this mess! Timothy is right. I have a progressive rock blog and someone wrote me with this question about this band that i don´t know. 
I don´t understand why everybody is joking about me. 
Once again, i´m sorry.

Let me post my theory..........since Luciana has a blog called prog rock vintage suppose thomas kramer came to the blog and a question was born, since they had no answer they came to the most comprehensive prog rock site in existence to get an answer, so now the question remains unanswered because it is not a prog rock song or who knows??

I've read every post again and it all seems "light" to me. What are you reading that I'm missing?

Yup. I get that, I also can read IP addresses that you can't, so I can rule out multiple personalities and screenname hijacking, so that just leaves a bizarre case of plagarism. True, I can be more polite and afford people the benefit of the doubt when phrasing my question, so I shall go back to my original post and rephrase it. Thanks for pointing this out, my wrists have been firmly slapped.
What?
