I'm glad that you didn't think I asked something out of line. It was only my intention to flatter him and let him know how much support he had. I don't like it when I read those things you mentioned too.
I will tell you that a brief letter accompanied the interview and in it I stated that although we wanted to know everthing, he should only answer what he felt comfortable answering. I gave him an out from the get go. Not that he need me to. I thought he might pass on some of them altogether. But being the gentleman that he is, he even explained why he didn't want to answer some things, LOL He was far more forth coming on some things than I thought he would be and less on some things that I didn't think were a big deal...like his tat for instance. That really threw me
I also explained to him that I had a casual, humorous style just because it can be hard to translate personality in emails. I don't think I was offensive and it was all done in the spirit of total respect on my part! I didn't edit anything he said. Every word he typed was included in the post. I'm very appreciative that he was willing to spend his time talking about himself, though clearly he is not comfortable doing that!! I wished him and his family well.
Don't worry Kate, you made sense. And the reason I even pursued an interview with him was because I wanted to get to know him better as a person and a professional. I find him interesting, like everyone else here and I wasn't seeing much about him anywhere. Then the interviews that were conducted didn't ask all the things I would have. So I teamed up with Nice to get something special for his fan site. I am one who believes in going and getting what you want.
