You missed something. Dave got tired of the direction of some of the responses and bailed.

Jack, I hope you don't think i was negative or abusive towards him? Because I was down right angry. He claimed to be a mechanical engineer, yet professed and proceeded with very questionable practices. As a mechanic engineer he has a moral and professional duty to protect the public. In no ones book could you call jumping up and down on the front of the frame a true test of a weld's strength. And that raised my anger level, to think someone might unknowing believe him and get hurt because of it. And just so he could further his ego!
No excuses for that kind of behavior...... Sorry, just unacceptable.......

IMHO, it appears that common sense went out the window. In my 40+ years in the manufacturing sector I've witnessed many "engineers" that couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time and I've worked with some that were absolutely brilliant.

The same generalization can be made of doctors, lawyers, teachers, mechanics, painters, machinists and any other profession or trade one cares to name. I fail to see how that statement adds anything to the conversation - except for a veiled slap at engineers. I'm done with this thread.

I guess that would wholly depend upon which category one falls in to or out of.

You asked why all of the "stuff" was deleted, and I answered the question. It was just a simple answer to a simple question with no judgment of anyone intended.

It seems to me, from one of his last posts, that he anticipated that by assigning members to his "Ignore List" nobody would be able to see anything that member posted to one of his threads. For example, by putting "RSpears" on his "Ignore List", no one would be able to see any of the responses I had posted on his build thread. When he figured out that by choosing to ignore "RSpears" the only change was that HE didn't get to see what I posted, but everyone else would still read everything I posted, he elected to delete most of his posts, apparently feeling that it would put him in a better light than having his posts visible. To each his own, I suppose....

I think MatthyJ tagged it,
