Dave Winer wrote this post about patriotism and highlighted the canadian singing of O’Canada at Gnomedex.
Anyway, the last day of Gnomedex happened to fall on Canada Day, and in celebration, Chris and Ponzi brought out a big cake and the Canadians rose, and sang their national anthem, Oh Canada. I had heard it before, [...]

My plea for help got some responses and some how by clearing the cache and restarting my computer I was once again able to access Gmail.
Thanks for your help!
