Heh... I only specifically denied it because you wondered if I was referring to it some time ago in one of our early exchanges, so I didn't want you to jump to consumptive conclusions (plus it was funny!).
Here's an encapsulation of the stereotypical Gardnerian: how many Gardnerians does it take to change a light bulb? Shhh! That's a 3rd degree secret.
Now granted, our little group is still tight-lipped about those portions of the tradition that are foci of the mysteries, but we also giggle during ritual, call on other deities than the primary Gard ones, use other traditions' methods sometimes, and basically enjoy gathering. All of these have at one time or another been described as things Gards don't generally do. In fact, I suspect some hard-core trad-whore Gards (who I hope for their sake never see this) wouldn't consider us "worthy" Gardnerians at all... and they can kiss my furry brush-tailed behind!
