| The following is the full listing of anyone who is currently (and regularly) working with CMG. Due to the nature of the Internet we're a pretty spread out bunch, from B.C. to Ontario, to Quebec to New Brunswick ... Oh yes, and the name in brackets following the full name is what each person uses to post on the CMG (just to help you with identification purposes). |  | Rob Harris (Editor 'arris) | Editor Publisher | Answers to the name Editor 'arris (in honour of his English 'omeland), 'arris is the editor of CMG (odd, considering the name) as well as Le Grand Fromage (owner) of CMG Online. He currently lives in Sackville, New Brunswick. | |  | Costa Mouzouris (Costa) | Features Editor | Costa's had quite the moto journalistic career. Working first for CMG, then Cycle Canada (where he became editor) and now back to CMG, Costa is one of the best that there is in Canadian moto-journalism. He currently resides in Montreal. | |  | Steve Thornton (Steve) | News & Copy Editor | Steve lives in Merrit in the mountains of B.C. where he works as the News & Copy Editor for CMG – in between foraging for berries and catching salmon with his bear hands. Yes, he has the hands of a bear ... | |  | Larry Tate (Larry) | Racing News | Larry has been in the motorcycle industry since the days of the first Velocycle and uses his vast knowledge and no-nonsense speak to cover all things racing for the CMG. Larry resides in the Napanee area of Ontario. | |  | Steve Bond (Bondo) | Features Writer | Steve Bond shares a similar long and notable history as Mr. Tate. A racer in the 70's (nineteenth century), Steve turned his hand to writing and has since become one of Canada's foremost motorcycle journalists. Steve lives in Oshawa with a pack of wild wolves. | |  | Leslie Machado (Leslie) | Marketing Manager | Leslie is relatively new to CMG where she tackles the murky and dangerous world of getting money from organizations that the editorial staff has just criticized. She lives in Toronto and on the phone. | |  | Patrick Shelston (Pat) | Techie Overlord | Pat is the techie god of CMG. Unlike most techies he isn't podgy, socially inept and tiresome to be around for more than 20 seconds (he's good for at least 30). However, he is superb at all things tech related. Pat lives in Toronto with a cat named Captain Kirk. | | | Shaz Shaukat (Shaz) | Techie Underlord | Shaz is one of those rare finds who (much like Pat) can pretty well read exactly what Editor 'Arris is thinking when it comes to tech ideas. A relatively recent addition to the CMG team, he's already an integral part of it. Shaz lives in Ottawa underneath the Prime Minister's residence. | |  | TK4 (TK4) | Any Questions (Expert) | TK4 is one of those rare people who, despite working full time in the industry (thus the anonymity), still manages to maintain a sense of humour. His expertise and insider knowledge is second to none, making him the perfect Any Questions expert. TK4 currently lives on Mars. | |  | Matt McGarvey (M. McGarvey) | Any Questions (Legal) | Matt's one of those rare lawyers who actually gives a damn and is willing to give a legal opinion without charging an arm and four legs for it. For this reason we have him on Any Questions duty. Matt lives in Ottawa. | |  | Rob MacLennan (Rob MacLennan) | Soapbox Guardian | Mr. MacLennan is an intense man, but also a ever-helpful, stand-up, determined dude. That's why we gave him the Soapbox deletion keys, which he's happy to use whenever anybody gets ideas above their station. We think Rob lives in the GTA but if he told us, he'd have to kill us. | | | Escapees/Freelancers We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the people who have been an intrinsic part of CMG/OMG in the past, but have since been able to escape, some of whom still grace the pages of CMG in a freelance capacity: Kevin Rosenthall, KC, Julian Haber, Richard Seck, Jon Lewis, Scott Smith, Harry 'bbb' Freedman, Richard Perrin, Greg Vosper, Wayne 'Sonic' Mallows, Wilfred Gaube, Tony Lee, Tom 'Shovel' Arnold, Piero Zambotti (RIP), Nick Smirniw, Jeff Bloor, Scot Magnish, Ronn Moffatt, Barb Piatkowski, Daniela Stranscak, JP Schroeder, Jeff MacMillan, Jean Houde, Ed White, Sheila Tang, Miss Miryana, Nestor Gula and, err, yes ... you. The one that's now pissed off because you weren't mentioned. You didn't think we'd forgotten you? Yep, your help was really appreciated. Thanks. |
