Where's he gone?

[SUNRAY]

Interestingly still available for PM's but then so is Holmslaw

No. it was like this for a month; early Jan to early Feb but before and after that it was perfectly normal. Then mid March it transpired he's absent again.

That makes sense. As I wrote to Detlef, the messages one gets when one tries to view his profile etc. are different from those one gets as a result of 'member choice'.

Kind Regards, John

Meh... I'm not that bothered either way to have made a great study of it. I would imagine Winston1 is very flattered by all this attention.

...if he's in a position to see them (or is this forum publicly viewably by no-members?)

Yes, but you get adverts...

I've seen this thread on here for a while, but never been interested.
Just taken a look and it looks like Winston has asked to be removed, If so, his loss. BAS and Winston were pedantic, and annoying, but I just silently laughed at them and tried not to reply.
I did at times and didn't at other times, like reading what they said. Because they created thread drift and arguments which I hate and never get into, but somehow enjoy reading.

Ah but the big problem wasn't all the bickering. it was the actual incorrect advice he would give, sometimes even dangerous.
The pudency is tolerable if it is correct, it was common for it to be incorrect.

I'm.. sorry.. but.. I.. can't.. resist..

Pedantry!

Depends on dictionary.
Ironically this is one of those words that gets batted around between different game players. In the past when I've used pedantry ... well you can imagine the rest.
Just as ironic the spelling was autocorrected.

What give you that impression?

I'd be very surprised if he had 'asked to be removed', and I don't know what that would really mean, anyway mean. If one so wishes, one can stop participating in the forum, make one's profile inaccessible by others, switch off PMs etc. etc. without having to 'ask' anyone, so what would be the additional significance/effect of 'asking to be removed'?

Kind Regards, John

It's now 6 weeks.

Wonder if I still have BAS email, maybe he will come back? At least he was normally correct, just a bit pedantic, although on another forum saw a BAS which clearly was not him, and acted more like winston.

I was told when using radio repeaters never to talk to IQ0's as this encouraged them, in fact if I did, I could loose my access code to the repeater (VR2) they get satisfaction from people telling them they are doing some thing wrong, stop telling them, and the stop doing it.

I do however see the danger when some wrong info given, and we can do this with the best of intentions, even a typo error.

I remain in intermittent contact with BAS and, although he has not said so in quite so many words, I think he might well consider coming back if he could be assured that there was no chance of winston ever being 'allowed back in' again.

That would be good.
