Truckster is still lurking. He only says something when he gets bored with the 123456543321 different forums he is on...lol

Mad Dog is still around. Think his name may be Red Frog now...kinda rhymes.

Cokeaddict (Angelo) haven't seen him around for a while. I think that he was heading overseas last time we spoke.

Even Lucy has gone AWOL. He has retired from working class conditions. He is still trying to break everything he touches as far as I can ascertain....hahahahahaha

I have been here since 2001....sigh...mebbe I should get a life (whatever that means...lol)

Cheers

It was a shame about Mike Harding, he helped a lot of people with his electronics knowledge.

Anyone remember Lone Wolf.

Without doubt ther funniest man to grace this forum.

I believe he sufferered a marriage breakdown, sold his business and shot through to "walk the earth" a la Cane (Kung Fu).

The guy I'm still trying to find is BILBO, now there was a guy with a sense of humour, he never took light banter to be anything more than just that, razor sharp wit and deadly with the one liners, unfortunately for the forum , some p####d him off and its been our loss really, tried a few forums to catch him up but no joy yet, have to admit I'm frequenting other sites a bit more myself now but still like to have a nose here ,
regards,
Dave

Aside from Lone Wolf (i have looked at his blog from time to time) Locallaw was good for a laugh. Some time back he said he was retiring, and i haven't seen him here since.

Have we all forgotten iMusty?

Pity that a few excellent posters have been driven away (or chose to be driven away). Mike Harding was certainly good value - hope he returns one day. Collyn Rivers was another real asset who was driven away. The person who did 90% of the damage (through outrageous vitriol), has not been seen for a long time either, might even have been banned - after the damage was done.

Brian,

A forum like this is full of characters, when some leave for what ever reason, more will appear.
I think the forum could become stale with out new characters.

Interesting thread.
You're bound to have posters who have genuine experience and knowledge getting upset with the "bush lawyer" types, who seem to take a great delight in questioning the expertise of others.
I read several boards such as these and am constantly amazed be the amount of misinformation that gets posted.
There is also a great deal of worthy material too, and the "heads up" alerts that they provide are invaluable.
It is unfortunate that the over inflated egos of some of the po-faced know-it-all characters can destroy the good natured and generous spirits of the less bombastic but better informed folk.
The 3B principle ( Bull$h1t Baffles Brains ) is still the motivational force behind such a large portion of the population. Revheads especially.
