… and as a more relaxing note just an anecdotal quote from G.Gould and his friendship with M.McLuhan by an analysis regarding their different relations towards the medium and the message (;)):
A mention of Marshall McLuhan reminds me of something which Glenn once said to me. I knew him extremely well. I knew him for a very long time, and we were taking about Marshall, who was a mutual friend, and he said: “You know, I somehow think Marshall [McLuhan] is more connected with the medium — somehow I [G.Gould] feel I’m closer to the message”.
