I already knew about GF – it's just GL that was "elusive". (Several people on BCN have claimed GL as one of the bad SamXon series but I've never found even a picture of them for myself. Nor could I locate them in 10 pages of Google results. In this case, I think the simplest explanation is the best, and that's the one I gave in my previous post.)
That, or it's the result of someone confusing CapXon and SamXon. (They do seem to share some of their series names.)
(For what it's worth, I currently use DuckDuckGo for most searches, for better privacy. But it assumed I meant to type Samson and mixed in results that happened to contain "Samson" and "GL", so Google was more suited to this "corner case" – although the search still came up empty-handed.)
