Well, this simply confirms a suspicion I've long held.  I figured
Geddy eavesdrops on this list, and he probably recognized
your names, and remembered that you guys didn't hassle me enough when
I beat up on ole Geddy!  But I tell ya what I would've done when
faced with said stony looks and silence.  I would've started busting
balls about his voice, ask him why he sings like a little girl, etc.
I bet that would've busted that stony veneer!
