    Never said the contrary. However, he does all of this for the same reason almost all of us do. Its a hobby. Nothing more.
    When it isn't fun anymore you shouldn't do it.

    There are a LOT of knowledgeable people on this forum, and some that are fun to have around even with the pointless banter.
    Sorry, but no one single member is any better than another.

    I was hoping the thread would work itself back to the original intent. We will surely miss Scotty and his wisdom. He always gave good advice whether it be mechanical or philosophical. We are hoping that he will come back to SL.

    I do dislike the snipeing that has been going on. Sorry Snoopy, but its out of line on this thread. IMO of course.

    But in another sense of the word Scotty is better.
    Better at long distance diagnosis.
    Better at procedural fixes.
    and better at finding answers to off the wall questions.

    I don’t think I’m alone in this.
    When I read a thread about a mechanical issue I scan all the replies until I see Scotty’s answer.
    Which is usually the right answer.

    I think that in your efforts to defend your "friend" you totally missed the point......
    Nevermind, it's really not that important of a discussion anyway, at least not for me enough to keep commenting....carry on...

    Scotty, if you want to be here, many appreciate the help and insight. If you dont, that's cool too......done.

    This is not why I started this thread. I just was wondering where Scotty was. You guys are off the point.

    However, the truth be known... it seems too many seem to make their living out of posting constantly without any content to their posts.

    This statement is so correct. Too many BS replies that are very annoying and lower the quality of this forum.

    I know this is "Old School" but, has anyone tried calling him and letting him know that due to his absence he now has his own personal thread and "Fan Club"?

    I don't post a lot here, but I had a minor glitch (self inflicted) the other day I posted about, hoping to get some sage advice from members. Didn't get much of a response but what I was really hoping for was the solution and waited for Scotty to post. He never did and I was disappointed, now I know why. I visit here daily and enjoy the site. However, I always looked for Scotty's responses and was amazed at his knowledge about these machines. I truly hope he returns because there are some members that are major assets for the rest of us and he is one of them. PREMIERE ASSET.

    He's probably too busy with the house construction...

    & think I said same in post #6.


    In his absence and based on the stated level of dependency. There may be a few spyders that end up parked until he returns.

    We all seem to be leaning, "a bit heavy" on him...
    He doesn't owe anybody anything in here; give him a break, and he may just miss us, as much as we already miss him!

    He did get injured and his wife was sick too. If you read the Log House post he mentioned it. Maybe he and/or she is under the weather and he has more important things to do. Hope they are doing well and wish them speedy recoveries and returns to the forum.

    He's a guy who enjoyed sharing his debth of knowledge in a most articulate and easily understandable way. For that, his reward was the pleasure he derived from sharing that knowledge. Until, one overly dependent person decided to write him a bad check. So to speak.
